Hello Hygge, I think VR would literally add a dimension to cloudspotting…. Allthough some patterns seen from below in two dimensions are for that reason so intriguing. See the picture of the inspirational cloud with which MikeL started this inspirational topic.
Strange and nice, so many fallstreak holes together. Maybe caused by a playful pilote making holes in the layer of altocumulus by going up and down through the cloudlayer?
This discussion made me think of the Cheshire Cat:
The Cat only grinned . . .” “Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice; “but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!”.
3D clouds would give indeed a very different view on clouds since perspective is not well seen from the ground level. That’s one of the reasons the appearance of clouds can change so quickly and dramatically. And this lack of perspective makes it in turn inspiring looking up from ground level.to whatever clouds are visible.and how they develop.
The two suns are fantastic. Is this really seen on planet earth?
I can recommend the site for atmospheric optical phenomena: atoptics.
You’ll see an overview of all kinds of spectacular rainbows under which a red bow. You are lucky to spot that one!
You will find also on this site breathtaking pictures of other optical effects with clear explanations.
Have fun with it!
Thanks for taking over the ball Hygge. I like your document also very much. It gives indeed a load of help and it adds a lot to the basics of the app.
An answer shouldn’t take so long. I see through a hole in the stratocumulus a patch of altocumulus. Nice picture!
Do you use already the cloudspotter app? It has a library of all types of clouds including optical pheneomna with a clear and often humorous description. It’s fun using it and helps you identify all types of clouds. Success and have fun!
Thanks hygge and Michael for your reactions. It’s fun experimenting this way with pictures of details in the sky. It gives surprising results.
Thank you hygge for your thoughts. It is funny, I didn’t see the laughing kitten at first, now I can’t see anything else.
