What a fireworks display! I’ve sometimes called these interesting clouds with virga fairy clouds or sparklers.
Your put such creative titles with your photos! Love the grey, blue and white shades. Our skies give us so much joy!
Thank you, Keelin and everyone, for making this such a fun place to share our love of clouds. ☁️ ☁️ ☁️
Hello Keelin! Very happy to share my “gift” with you all. It was one of those truly magnificent sunsets we all experience now and then. I had driven our car up to the top of our cattle pasture instead of walking up the hill because it was so cold. As I got out of the car to watch the sky and take photos I was listening to a CD by Friar Alessandro singing “Joy to the World.” Standing out there under the glorious sky “show” and listening to this inspiring song was such a blessing. I felt like I was seeing something eternal. I took 43 photos. In case any of you want to hear the music I was listening to here’s a link:
Hello Everyone! On Christmas Day the sunset was fantastic! We had a grey sky all day and toward sunset the western sky showed some light and it became quite glorious! My husband and I wondered if we had ever before seen such lines across the sky like that. It’s why we all watch the sky isn’t it?
The photo below that I took last night is not retouched or changed in anyway. Shot on auto setting with my Canon PowerShot.
Thanks, Michael, for the Holmboe explanation. Learned something new about cloud formations thanks to joining this society. Went on a DuckDuckGo search and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of info or photos like there is for the KH clouds. I will be watching for Holmboe now!
Love your wired sunset too, Hans. Such soft colors. And especially enjoy all your puns and fun with words!
Another nice one, Alec. Shall we share our power line shots? 🙂
Two of mine below just after a thunderstorm at sunset. Remarkable color in the sky. This is not an enhanced photo. You may laugh, but I don’t know how to enhance photos. Auto setting and shoot. 📷 Roll clouds in the distance.
Thanks Michael for explaining the Holmboe waves. Had never heard of them before but now I am so curious to see more photos of them. I went on a DuckDuckGo search and couldn’t find any photos of them yet. Lots of technical articles, though in oceanography journals about fluid motion, which also applies to the atmosphere. Ah, the wonders of our earth and sky!
