It is already more than a month ago that we cooled our toes in the very nice Low Waves from Keelin.
Recently I spotted some fantastic cirrocumulus lenticularis, together with some displays of iridescence and a brightly colored corona. Next shot from the series of pictures I took must have a place in this topic.

Thank you Keelin, and so is yours!
And don’t be scared, you can make a harp out of what you see in the mirror in the morning and the day will end in music.

That is a tasty Layered Cake to eat Keelin, thank you. I took some coffee with it this morning. a perfect way to start the day!
Recently I spotted this peculiar lacunosus at sunset

Thank you Michael, I was not sure. I think I found the example of yours on the gallery.
Great light play and brightness in your Evening Balm!
Just this morning I spotted this one. It looks like it was destined to come next.
Interweaving
Quite amazing these continuations on the theme op spinning, curling, unfurling and other circular motions. I like them all.
Motion leads to
Change Of Weather
I don’t know what I do see here except for a exceptional cloud configuration. Some characteristics of asperitas can be seen in the thick band of cloud at the bottom. Any idea?
Yes a Turn At Anywhere is seductive. Now I get lost in your Spin Keelin. Great composition. I like to continue this movement and this is the
Spin Off
I agree Keelin, Anywhere is a proper name for the twins across he pond. Quite amazing similarity of all three abstracts.
Michael took a surprising turn from Anywhere leading us to a mysterious, soft and a bit woolen atmosphere.
I don’t know where to go.
ZigZag
Funny, at the moment I posted my reply only two pictures in B&W were visible. Still my reply shows after the fourth. Now I must agree with Keelin about the fourth picture. Magnetic!
And so I find out that adding some text with a link to a site in the visual mode might have been the problem in posting my former replies. Now a retry in text modus.
PS. I hope you both know about the site
Every optical phenomenon is presented together with scientific explanations. I noticed that Gavin works together with the owner of this site, Les Cowley. It is a goldmine of information and shows great pictures.
So I seem to have tricked the confused forum by cutting my reply in two parts.
Still Some Darkness On Our Journey To Anywhere Waiting For An Encounter Behind The Beckoning Light
Thank you Keelin, it is nice to read you enjoy my River Of Stratus. Looking up in wonder of the clouds will also lead to encounter all kind of halos like you did with the 22 degrees halo. Other halos will follow for sure, when you know about the circumstances that are favorable for halos to appear (mainly cirrostratus and cirrus). And so you are right Michael, attention for clouds indeed pays off this way. It is always a pleasant surprise to see for example a bright CZA or any other halo.
It is funny to confess that I did not even see a rather common sundog ever before I got interested in clouds. The fascination for optical phenomena comes for free with the appreciation of clouds. And like Michael wrote, seeing a halo you seem to be the only one that observes these wonders of light play. I have had several occasions with my head in the sky and with my camera in the hand that people asked what I was seeing. After I pointed out there was a sundog or a halo they were always surprised about the existence of these phenomena and thanked me for having explained it.
And so you find out that a CZA or the so called smile in the sky is not that rare as you might think. The point is that one must be aware of the favorable circumstances to look up and find one, since it only appears near the zenith.
