Oops, good reading is difficult. Sorry I missed the double dot making the text that follows not yours Hygge, but from Alec Jones. So my question is wrongly directed. Nevertheless you gave an intersting link with very rare optical phenemona. I am certainly a halo fan, so thank you for giving entrance to this vault filled with halo secrets.
I hope you liked the pictures and when you or anyone else might have an answer to my question I would be delighted.
And the basket of sheared wool by Keelin ispires Shorn ’nuff to more sheeplike pictures. I like the theme.
Before
And After
Wow, Michael what an amazing display of virga. This should be on the gallery imho. Nature on its impressionistic best. Whether it is in color or in b&w this is a fantastic picture because of composition and because of what you spotted. Cloud of the Month as far as I am concerned. I am curious what you think about my suggestion.
Next one is abstract and not fit for he gallery at all
No Way
Your title made me laugh Michael. Very funny and also a picture in a series of yours with great delicate sharpness in it. Love it.
Sweeping Virga
P.S.: Great overwhelming mamma over Mesa Michael! There must have been some storm nearby I suppose.
That is very interesting Hygge. Quite rare phenomena are reported on that blog. I am a fan of atoptics by Les Cowley and also very interested in optical phenomena. Unfortunately – for already some time – he is not able to post new OPOD’s and I am reluctant to mail him with questions about arcs I saw. As a matter of fact I saw one yesterday and I try to figure out what I saw. Maybe you can shine a light on this one.
I took the picture(s) between 15:30 and 15:50 when the sun was at about 5 degrees height. In a band of cirrus I saw at roughly the same height as the sun and at a distance of to hand-widths this colorful part of an arc appeared. It fits with what I can find about an infralateral arc. What do you think?
Enhanced picture by adding contrast and extra saturation. The arc was well visible although faint.
Incredible, the cheese is on its way to complete the pizza! A surreal meal, Keelin. Don’t know how you managed to prepare this dish.
The Chase
I won’t forget these subtle greys, Keelin. The scenery looks like an aerial view on a seashore of a land that is covered with gently curved clouds. Mystical.
Vault
I like that approach Michael. Very nice. I checked my archive, but the examples I found are all given extra accent to emphasize the abnormality. Here is one the other way around. I suppose nobody saw something special in this sky covering grey stratocumulus that is so often seen here. But with some enhancements one could have been worried about what fate was hanging overhead.
It Is Coming
Indeed George, I did suppose so. I like the wordplay and the film.
Monet would be proud Keelin. It is certainly him.
The Blues
Thank you Keelin about the dragonfly. It was a striking figure and I had to park the car on a good spot to take some pictures.
Art Deco and Cloud Still Life are sublime Michael. Sharp and crystal clear textures.
And Shorn ’nuff is just as sublime, the picture and the wordplay as well, Keelin.
You both leave you personal
Fingerprints
Nice story George! It adds to the fun of spotting an optical pheneomenon.
Nice film too. I don’t wanna spoil your wordplay, but I suppose you know it is a subsun you see dancing on the hillside? Quite unique.
Stray Sundog
My last post turns out to be doubled. I was more or less impatient while entering I suppose.
Wow, what a great flowering cloud you watched develop Michael. Extraordinary picture. There is happening a lot. Beautiful!
In the mushroom season I found this
