Hans, yes. Looks like the games are similar.
Clouds that Look Like Nothing At All – or hieroglyphs of the sky ?
Oh, Keelin. You’ve captured heaven in your photo. Worthy of being painted. Thank you for posting this image. Love it.
I love viewing this forum. Last night in the market parking lot I pulled into a space facing this sunset streaked with contrails and it reminded me of a game called “pick up sticks” that we played as children.
More reflections. There’s new ice on the lake, creating a glossy mirror of the sky. 21 January 2020, 1:39 PM. Brewster, NY, US.
Hello, Hans! Thank you for sharing your “ditch” photo…clouds, water and light = magic. Your post reminded me of an image I captured in Antarctica in 2013 as the sun was setting over the water — and I went back and found it. These moments – yours, Keelin’s and others — are simply mesmerizing. And sometimes it is just a moment and then the world (and the clouds and light) move on.
Keelin, greetings. Your photo captures “calm” beautifully. I especially love the refection, ethereal and other-worldly. Contrasts in the sky, moment to moment and sometimes dramatically day by day make it exciting to wake up and see what’s in the sky. I find myself looking up and stopping more often. What a gift.
Catching up with stunning contributions above – both photos and prose! Glad to see the forum marched on in my absence. Today, a mid-day walk, lakeside, filled me up again with stunning cloud images, including this one, 7 January 2020, 10:59 AM. Brewster, NY, US.
On a rare work-week mid-day walk, looked up to see this wisp of an elf skiing through the clouds over the lake. 14 November 2019, 10:52 AM. Brewster, NY, US.
gvpreo, powerful image. Thank you for capturing and sharing. I remember that view from my days working in the World Financial Center – in the 90s. We had similar activity up here – I offer another view 12 November 2019, 5:12 PM. Brewster, NY, US.
Last night, the white puff of a cloud caught my eye, especially in contrast to the pink background. 12 November 2019, 5:11 PM. Brewster, NY, US.
Distant chain of clouds. A couple in the middle look like flying saucers to me :-) 8 November 2019, 4:24 PM. Brewster, NY, US.
Thank you, Hans. It was pure luck/unintentional to capture nearly the same perspective on two different days. As I was comparing shots from the two days, I made the discovery and the contrast struck me, I went to line them up on my phone collage feature and there you have it.
If I were to rename this forum it would be simply “Clouds over lake.” As you see, I’ve strayed from sunset-specific captures :-)
Keelin, thank you for your encouragement. I did forward a couple photos over the past couple of weeks to the gallery and they did not get picked up. I can only imagine the volume of images sent to Ian from all over the world.
On my walk this evening, the scene from the beach was a stark contrast to yesterday morning and so I offer up: “And then there were none” 6 November 2019, 5:00 PM. Brewster, NY, US. The crystal clear skies only make the clouds such a treat when they appear.
