The vertical and horizontal come out very well indeed. Michael. In what I spotted lately it was a mess.
Mondriaan Once Lived Here
This is truly surprising, Keelin. Firstly we turn out to have an Arctic Explorer in common. And secondly I did not notice him myself in Strangeness, but like on other pareidoliatic occasions, it is not possible to unsee him from now on. With eyepatch! Love it.
Something Tickles My Left Hand
Well, you delivered quite a concrete answer to the question Hygge put forward, Michael. I love this image I get of the NOAA that tolls the bell for cloudspotting chances. Knowing that only 80 days are available for cloudspotting I do respect the diversity of spottings you already have produced for the gallery and of course also for the black and white threads. Fantastic!
Pumping up the contrast also reveals the contrast between the flock and the one who seems to go his own way, Keelin. It seems to dance cheerfully away.
Lines At Sunset
Wow, looking into this thread after just a bit more than a week is a like digging in a treasury box. I agree with Keelin, Michael, you have your ways with the greys. Every Now And Then you take Antecedents To The Edge while the next day Waking Up Breathing in the morning to watch at the end of the day this Amazing Lennie Sunset. It is a true Waterfall of beautiful abstracts of which To The Edge is really to the edge. Very delicate also.
Thank you Keelin for your Friendly Figural #4 to watch over me. Heartwarming! An intriguing figure and great composition. The contrast works well in your Thornbird, I tried the contrast as well in this….
Cloudy Basket
Keelin, the inspiration you feel is mutual for sure and never ending. Our grey cells will not have any chance for aging this way. We won’t let them!
Now the Dust Bunnies make their unexpected entry (great light-play in that one, it makes me feel sunny!) and whoever could predict the arrival of the Red Priest out of that strange and duasty country. Ever bin there?
And …. again I will lack for two weeks our daily black and white vitamins. Unfortunately I would say, but the bright side is that I will have my head in the clouds to capture new material.
The Dust Blows Forward
Keelin, your wordplay responding to the ingenious titles Michael gives his images, is unmatched making it a real pleasure to read your comments. I like that jazz! And then you take my “hint” a level higher with “maybe just a hint” of Asperitas in that intriguing picture.
The Rite Of Spring
Thank you George for trying to find out more about the Sahara sand. Today the Cloud a Day pays attention to the phenomenon. It explains that the Sahara sand and the smoke were drawn up by the winds encircling Ophelia.
And you are quite right, this is a once or twice in a lifetime event. The dutch weatherman stated this was unprecedented in his already long meteorological career.
At the end of the day the sun became better visible. What strikes me in next picture taken at 16:00 is the strange colored corona (yellow with a red band). I assume this is the effect of the sands of the Sahara.
A rare and spectacular phenomenon for sure. The same occurred in the Netherlands. Today (Tuesday) the sun was sometimes visible in reds and yellows and sometimes invisible behind layers of smoke. As a result the temperature dropped some degrees. It is amazing that the smoke of the fires in Spain and Portugal together with the sands of the Sahara reach so far and wide in the slipstream of Ophelia.
Tchaikovsky is flabbergasted by the news or maybe by the light music? How creative a title can be!
I saw your Asperitas on the gallery Michael. Quite special being able to look over and under it. The picture reminded me of a singular patch of Asperitas I once saw on a distance.
