    Thank you Keelin. And yes your toes would curl from the low temperature as much as your lovely Curled cirrus. Memory-making it would surely be. Brrrrr.

    Love your composition with the soft blues Michael (#740).

    Nice to blow new live in the Cloudscape thread Michael and Keelin. Quite a mighty Cb Michael. And the windy days in California produced a peculiar fluffy sky Keelin. Here the wind also reigns already for some time. Mostly cold wind from the sea often with rain but also

    That is a great halo to start Volume IV with Keelin! The image gives the feeling of an arctic and fairy-like snowscape. Love it.

    Dark and Light, great Cloudsculptures and even Greek Corinthian Columns. A monumental start of this 15th Volume. Is it time for a book named A “B&W A Day”?

    Yes the link does not work Hygge. A second attempt: February 2018

    In the case it still does not work one has to scroll a bit through the archive of Clouds of the Month (click on the menu item “Gallery” and click on submenu Cloud of The Month, and then scroll and page a bit to find it.

    Second and better thought: inside the 22 degrees halo it must be a corona like the title of the picture states. The only thing that puzzles me is that the corona is so large. The smaller the water droplets that cause the corona the larger the corona. That’s for sure, but I did not found information yet about a corona this size. The beauty of it is unmatched I think.

    Thanks for sharing George. Can’t believe my eyes seeing this halo exposure. I recognize a number of halos but what I see within the 22 degrees halo is a puzzle to me. There are several options with halos due to pyramidical crystals (so called odd halos) but the ones on the picture are exuberantly colorful.  Love it indeed!

    Thank you George for your explanation. I now remember what Gavin wrote about it. I did some search on the subject and what I found is that attempts to use it are not successful while there also are considerable concerns about environmental damage.

    Very applicable for the 14th of February Keelin. Somehow there should be a category for Clouds-That-Look-Like-A-Heart.

    Here is a color impression of the prevailing weather over here. Some heartwarming is very welcome.

    Wow, great B&W’s by you two Keelin and Michael. I keep coming back to Frenetic Fete by Keelin and your last one is very intriguing Michael. There is this dog’s head in it. I don’t know which way to go anymore….

    Here is an impression of the weather over here that already lasts for some weeks and is here to stay for some more time. Anyway nice skies…..

    Thanks for sharing this wonderful story George. I know more attempts have been done to manipulate the weather by seeding but I don’t know about any positive result – under acceptable conditions – until now. Who might know more about this?

    Hello Steven, I think I found another example of your beautiful clouds:

    You captured a host of unique characters in your last posts Keelin. “Always room for a dragon” is very funny and made me giggle too.

    As to your little creature jumping out of the water: might it be a little salamander on the run jump for some predator that is behind him, still under the surface?

    I did not encounter much look-alikes lately but I will keep my eye open to spot our mutual friends.
