    My replies seem to get lost after submitting. I have had this once before. A bug is at work. Grrr.

    Great B&W’s Michael! Especially the second one I like for its unaerthly spatial structure.

    Some minutes later you can still see the parhelic on the top of the cirrus streaks

    Your composition in grays is overwhelming, Keelin!

    … and you description of our journey is very poetic…. we follow a Mysterious Passageway, a road to Anywhere.

    Today I had a lucky day on our journey. Looking up (as usual…..) I saw a large part of the parhelic circle.  This is a rather rare phenomenon although sometimes small parts of the parhelic can be seen attached to a sundog. This was the second time I saw a parhelic circle this large and without sundogs. It lasted just five or ten minutes glistening in the passing cirrus formation.

    Capturing clouds make one feel the hasty white rabbit for sure. Once seen a nice cloudscape you already must have your camera in hand to capture it. You were certainly prepared Michael to shoot this great asperitas.

    Keelin you triggered my memory with your philosophic question where bubbles end and clouds start. The idea of pulling the tub outside to observe the clouds from, is also a quite appealing idea and seeing next picture you might think I suited the action to the word.

    Thank you for this explanation Gavin.

    I can’t resist the temptation to support the story with this picture of lacunosus in black and white.

    You really indulge us with this Cup o’Clouds, Keelin. It has the design of a delicate art nouveau piece of china. At this tea-party there must be also

    Great story about Stefan Forster, Hygge. Thanks for sharing.

    Indeed Hygge, the similarity of these Vues Sur Mer with some cloud abstracts in B&W are striking. Water, vapour, waves, they have a lot of physical processes and appearances in common. Thanks for sharing this link.

    Thick And Delicate, The Softness Inside: they make me think of good Belgian chocolate bonbons. Beautiful and tasty.

    You have done magic with “Who Was Here?” Keelin. These first strokes of an unknown artist have an incredible thick almost touchable texture. Also very funny. I hope we will see more from this artist.

    Thanks for sharing Michael.  Chores can wait but lacunosus will dissipate (famous chinese saying).

    I think they will also do very well in B&W.

    Wow, the threatening atmosphere of this towering monsoon cloudscape is almost touchable, Michael. Heavy.

    I look forward for your other pictures of lacunosus.

    Hihi, the one about Calder I had to look up. I did not know about him. Very funny and applicable.

    Chagall is having a nice dream, Keelin. It can’t be a coincidence that when Chagall Begins To Dream Miro left his signature yesterday in the sky above me.
