    The blues are looking me into the eyes through the eyes of Jan Fabre, Hygge. Did you use this link by mistake or on purpose? In either way very funny.

    Beautiful picture Michael. Certainly Divina. No Comedia.

    I like to share this one. It appears to fit perfectly with your elusive title of this topic.

    Hello Hygge, I agree..

    This is a funny coincidence:. I can’t play the documentary of Michael Portillo in the Netherlands (boring borders!), but accidentally I saw it yesterday on BBC. very funny to see him on places more familiar to me.

    Here is another blue threat that gave some controversy in England or more specific in London:

    Hello Hygge, I think VR would literally add a dimension to cloudspotting…. Allthough some patterns seen from below in two dimensions are for that reason so intriguing. See the picture of the inspirational cloud with which MikeL started this inspirational topic.

    Thanks Hygge. That was an instructive video by Tomasz.

    Strange and nice, so many fallstreak holes together. Maybe caused by a playful pilote making holes in the layer of altocumulus by going up and down through the cloudlayer?

    This discussion made me think of the Cheshire Cat:

    The Cat only grinned . . .” “Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice; “but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!”.

    3D clouds would give indeed a very different view on clouds since perspective is not well seen from the ground level. That’s one of the reasons the appearance of clouds can change so quickly and dramatically. And this lack of perspective makes it in turn inspiring looking up from ground level.to whatever clouds are visible.and how they develop.

    The two suns are fantastic. Is this really seen on planet earth?

    I can recommend the site for atmospheric optical phenomena: atoptics.

    You’ll see an overview of all kinds of spectacular rainbows under which a red bow. You are lucky to spot that one!

    You will find also on this site breathtaking pictures of other optical effects with clear explanations.

    Have fun with it!

    Thanks for taking over the ball Hygge. I like your document also very much. It gives indeed a load of help and it adds a lot to the basics of the app.

    An answer shouldn’t take so long. I see through a hole in the stratocumulus a patch of altocumulus. Nice picture!

    Do you use already the cloudspotter app? It has a library of all types of clouds including optical pheneomna with a clear and often humorous description. It’s fun using it and helps you identify all types of clouds. Success and have fun!
