Ha! Party mood, spinning clouds, a drunken camera, boozy inspirations. I like them. When this one flies over and looks you in the eye, you might come to the conclusion you maybe had one too many…
Easter Island Hangover
Meanwhile …. very nice pictures of Asperitas Michael!
And now I am curious about what the ICA would tell as about the circumstances under which Asperitas can or will appear. I haven’t read that much about this question so far. I hope the information will be free accessible from the moment the new atlas will be online. I suppose March 23, 2017?
And also thanks for the links Hygge.
Talking about floccinaucinihilipilification….. (always learning, I must train in using faultlessly this very funny word). What is this talking about aces and newbees? I am neither. I am just an interested amateur and no scientist. But …. as a matter of fact I don’t think it is contrail and can we be so sure it is not floccus? A Flock it is for sure. ImHo it seems to be cirrocumulus which can have a floccus appearance in compliance with ICA. There it starts to be unsure, but …. it also makes a suitable and funny title. Furthermore I can’t see any contrail. A feather that wings its way through the sky ….. does not imply contrail. It does imply well-chosen poetic words to describe something nice. So it is not that straightforward I think, and the most important thing is that I like the kind of cloud structures on these pictures of Keelin. It shows the same situation as on the beautiful picture in the ‘Not B&W’ thread Keelin posted on which also a colorful corona and / or iridescence can be seen. So please no sorry.
I am curious whether these strange shaped contrails – from now on to be called Homogenitus? – will also be included in the new International Cloud Atlas (ICA). I look forward for the announced online publication of the ICA. May I assume that will be per March 23, 2017?
Michael pushed it over the ridge and now this this Dream World Instability is quite a new phenomenon for me. I like it already very much. I enjoyed reading about it, so thanks very much Keelin.
Maybe I push it over the top in my instable dream world when I think I found Over the Ridge the features of a flying bird with a chanterelle. Might this be apohenia gone mad as Hygge once stated in another thread?
Velvet
Gentle and subtle slopes of Asperitas Michael!
Thank you Keelin for your enthusiastic reactions. That is really nice to read. So going on the track of the things we see in clouds like Bowling Balls, a Ball of Yarn, one or more faces, a Slipped Dusk, etc. here is a …
Swimming Goat
A regular walking crescent I would say Keelin. Very special.
I don’t know whether posting this cartoon is allowed, but I couldn’t resist….
….. I thought the restless sea could be Holmboe, but I was not sure. Thanks for confirmation Michael.
Indeed a fascinating phenomenon and a fascinating picture. The large elongated streaks unveil strong winds in contrast with the cloud top left.
Next picture shows another effect of different levels. It is like looking through ground glass to some undulatus.
A close up of the contrail makes the circular contrail look like a chromosome or an X-ray scan of something bony.
Here you can see the remaining of the contrail in circles like a diver letting escape some air under water.
It is indeed no iridescence George. It was a sundog. The sundog appeaered in a rather blue part of the sky, where the cirrus that produces the sundog was hardly to see. Together with the gentle cumulus it made a colorful composition.
Nice camera and it must be fun to explore the possibilities. You captured the full moon well. In this thread you can read the tips Michael made on capturing iridescence. It is always a challenge to capture it well and some – but certainly not too much – enhancement often helps to meet the reality better, like next one.
In Between
I am not sure Hygge whether it was asperitas. It was a small patch in the sky with these darker wisps against a lighter background. It had the characteristics op asperitas and that was the reason I took some pictures. So maybe, maybe not. After all these clouds quickly disappeared. These kind of asperitas like wimps can be seen sometimes and then I always wonder how to call it. On the gallery are also some examples you can find, but they might be more convincing to be called asperitas. On the Black and White Thread Vol I I posted another example in another occasion of these wimps (February 11, 2017). Maybe someone else might shine a light on this?
I like these sprite like streaks very much Michael. There might be several layers of different clouds of which one shows the lighter streaks (fibratus?). But that’s only for the analytical aspect. The resulting picture is striking. The lighter streaks seem to emerge straight from a steaming underground. Again on the surreal track. Great composition.
Next one I took some time ago and I almost had forgotten it. Going through my archive recently, the resulting picture unveiled to my surprise a mans face like the acid of time would have made the figure appear by etching.
