Great wide views over over the mountains, fields, waters and sky in this thread. Love the blues in your impressive shelf clouds Greg. Here is one with blues of a different nature.

Blue Hour

Thanks Ruth. Nice memories. Love your 6ft ladder. Very funny.

With virga. Quite unusual I think.

Wow, that’s a great Banshee that you spotted Keelin. What is she wailing about?

Election winds are blowing…..

Arizona Color #172 has a Halloween feel, Michael. Love it. As I do love ‘Raining down there somewhere’, Ruth.

Dripping

Love all your wavy images here, Michael and Ruth. Here’s one from overseas.

Hello Ruth, I think it is time to accompany you in  this trail. Contrails may be not the most loved clouds, but they can surprise in a lot of ways. It is always fun to spot their crazy appearances.

Different Journeys

[Hans Stocker]

Keelin, you make me think with this wonderful look-alike of Tracy Chapman:

You got a fast car
And I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Love it.

And I love your ‘Boeing 737 (all doors intact)’ Ruth, and the Anteater with the curly tail as well.

Woody Woodpecker With A Heated Beak?

Ah, I have to catch up with the recent beauties above. I have so much pleasure to check them all.

Chase Of Clouds

[Hans Stocker]

Hello Haoting He, I am sorry but to me the first image does not show a Horsehoe Vortex. The shape is a bit of coincidence and its appearance does not have a vortex look.

The second image shows a small colored section and that is a sundog. The sun is at the left and out of frame. The strange cloud with the large trunk is a bit of a puzzle to me. I think it is altocumulus but I can’t explain the long tube like appearance. I considered it having been virga, but I don’t see the typical fallstreaks of virga. Maybe strong winds have caused the long stretched form. I am curious for other opinions.

I hope you like it, Hans

Hello John, to me pannus and Stratus fractus look alike. The difference is only in the definition according to the International Cloud Atlas. Stratus fractus is a species of Stratus. Pannus is an accessory cloud that can accompany Altostratus, Nimbostratus, Cumulus and last but not least Cumulonimbus. In appearance I see no difference.

Oh, wow the aurora in California! Very nice Keelin. Love it. Recently the aurora was also visible in the Netherlands but I just heard about it the day after. Grrrr. My chance to see it was gone to the dogs. Speaking of dogs…..

Twindog

[Hans Stocker]

Great image at sunset Diana. I think you spotted altocumulus stretching its fingers making it radiatus. Love it.

[Hans Stocker]

Great one and lucky to be quick. I see a solitary KH crest. Very nice!
