    Misty atmosphere over the pond ……

    I once spotted this in the distance. I have no name for it.

    You are lucky Michael, with so much Asperitas events. I counted 1 last year (more or less) and a handful occasions in 2015. Every occasion special although maybe not that specific for spectacular views. In every occasion strange waves and curves in the clouds. I look forward to a new occasion this year.

    So I say: keep listening to the whisper of it. I love those large wavy arcs over a landscape you captured.

    By the way: I am curious for your pictures of the Holmboe Phenomena. I know you posted one picture of Lenticularis with the Holmboe phenomenon some time ago on the gallery. It caught my eye and got interested so I searched for information about the phenomenon. I hope once to spot it myself. There is so much to enjoy in the sky.

    Well, this must have been a good morning for you, Michael. These pics are certainly worth sharing. As a matter of fact I like the last one best. It are the large curving structures over the dim landscape that appeal to me.

    I hope the works of Aeolus don’t make Michael sneeze.

    Aeolus seems to appear in the shape of Big Bear pointing his nose down. Here someone is looking down on his works.

    Great shot Roger. Love this mixture. A lot is happening in the sky.

    Well this is a real firework of pollen. Although I certainly won’t sneeze from this one, the hay-fever aspect of spring is not what I look forward to. Atchoo! Here hay-fever season is still far enough away since it snows a bit from a solid grey stratus sky and winter seems to be in full strength. Yet I look forward to spring.

    Look for the version in true gold on the “sometimes it looks like a fake” thread.

    First Keelin’s Sunset Strip remembered me of a topic Hygge started about the perfect Blue of Yves Klein. It comes so very close! I was flabbergasted by that one.

    Now Michael, you combine an ominous blue with the colors of the sunset. Surreally Cool.

    Here is some solid gold.

    What a fantastic Blues! These are certainly not the kind of blues the CAS tries to fight as part of “the blue-sky thinking”.

    Ah, just some days away and back again I feel welcomed by fantastic new pictures of Little Bear (who can’t sleep?), the Mighty Lion (that sleeps tonite!) and elegant flowers of different kind in a growing bouquet. Let’s keep surprising one another. Love scrolling through this thread no matter whether I have a slider or not.

    I like the layers and patterns in this picture Michael.

    This processing in mind and time of some pictures I do recognize. Often I take  a picture because something strikes me and afterwards the result seems not to be what I had in mind or thought to see. And then after some time, some evaluating – and also some manipulating – you find back in a detail what interested you at first sight.

    You are quite right Michael. A lot of British have heard your cry from the heart:

    This is a really funny twist. I wrote indeed “Things that look like clouds” and now – after reading Hygge’s comment – I’d like to think I did it on purpose, …. but I did not. In my defense I could state that the alien figure on the picture is a “Thing that looked like a cloud”, but … of course I meant “Clouds that look like things”. Thank you Hygge.
