Yeah, he seems to see us too and it looks very serious!
Thank you Michael for you explanation of the process to come up with the former subtle result. It comforts me in a certain way that it wasn’t easy at all, but the result is even more impressive knowing about the process. Often pictures of an interesting cloud structure turn out to be rather dull and grey at first sight after uploading, but you know for certain it was different when you spotted it and it is the art of getting out of the raw picture what you attracted at first sight.
You are right, digital photography is the peoples art. It opened a lot of possibilities without the cost of the analogous process. It is true fun. Experimenting, learning, repeating and over again.
Strange undulations that aspire to asperitas
Wow Michael, this picture is very beautiful. I would use the same words to describe it as you did. I am impressed and I am going to study on the way to get these grays while maintaining some sort of sharpness and detail in it. Enchanting.
It reminded me of a picture I posted to the gallery.

It is not – but almost – black and white in reality. I only deepened the shadows a bit and that gave some extra contrast but it has not the lightness of your example. It is challenging to experiment in the way you showed now. To be continued.
Hello Michael, you inspire me with this undulating asperitas to B&W (as a verb) more candidates. Aspiritas loves B&W, that’s for sure. I experimented with some pictures of crepescular rays and it turns out to be really fun. I am surprised ever again what B&W can do with some extra contrast.
Here is a view on a pond with some reed.
Anyone else who wants to jump in?
I am glad you like the picture George.
What you see is a sundog, right from the sun at 22 degrees. The peculiar distribution of the reflecting cirrus gives it the electric feel.
You must be the very first one to have observed a negative of a horse shoe (vortex). Isabel. Congratulations.
Very nice.
Haha, I love these minions! Very gentle.
For the next one I did not have a metaphor yet, but now I want to recognize the physiognomy of Scarlet Overkill the minions are looking for.
Beautiful mountain to climb bare footed Michael.
Reading about contrail in anther thread I think the next one will be appropriate. I took this picture just a few days ago. The contrail was dissipating rather fast and it also formed some von Karman vortex like patterns before disappearing.
Barbed wire
Contrails, I see a lot of them living in the neighborhood of an airport. Indeed sometimes difficult to separate from cirrus. Here is one on fire (no photoshopping).
My apologies. After I wrote my former answer I suddenly became aware that I must be terribly wrong. Lesson one for me: think twice (oops).
When you look the sun in the face you can see the kind of halos I mentioned and of which I gave an example. When the sun is behind you I can’t tell what you saw.
Google didn’t help so far. I found one example of an antisolar arc, but no tunnel-like phenomenon.
Nevertheless it is a fantastic story Alun wrote. I end with the same question Alun put forward: who knows what it was?
