Not that far from me, but I am still having to water a few new plants in the garden.

(Apologies, more a case of clouds in the corner of my mind).
So glad things are looking up in Colorado, Keelin – fingers crossed. I have pleasant memories such as
(I am not a hiker, just drove up and parked in wonder for half an hour. This was BC (Before CAS) and BD (Before my Digital camera, so no pics of mine).
Oh, and the chipmunks.
Love the pun, Hans. I am sure there was a TV cartoon show with planes just like those. It’s a great cloud pic, giving the impression you were up there with them, as I am sure you often are.
That’s very philosophical, Michael, and deep thinking. Not just waiting for Lady Luck to hit you in the face. Thank you.

mentions sunsets. I think the abstract is very good and well worth reading, but you don’t garner that much more by listening to the whole program.
Very enjoyable pictures, Laurence – the first one really hits you. Is it chance they were all on Wed morning or simply not surprising, I wonder.
Glad you popped up – I was fearing you were sucked into that black hole…
2019 Zeiss Photography Awards (but Sony creeps in too)
The brown horse picture 1/10 has a cloudscape increasing in intensity left to right and looks interesting full screen. The grey horse 10/10 has just a hint of pink in the blanket sky?
The second picture, the Scottish Highlands, is a classic, I think, a fortiori because of the added pink cloud streets and grey cap cloud. The photographer Lesley Martin (q.v.) seems to run the IPA photo awards. Oh, and who doesn’t love Camargue horses with sunset clouds too.

So that’s why we set our thermostats = the highlands of East Africa
