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
runjump 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.
Without A Blink
Very nice Donatella and Saulius. Great sunsets in Seattle and Lithuania as well.
Usually we like to end a thread with 100 posts and then start a new Volume in the case it is a thread for a permanent theme like Sunsets and Sunrises are. Also Contrail, Black and White, Color and Optical Phenomena have a permanent thread of which Black and Whites already has a Volume XIV, so already between 1300 and 1400 posts of magnificent B&W’s. Check them!
Great to have you on board with contributions from such different places like Seattle and Lithuania, so I hope to see more from you on Sunsets and Sunrises Volume V Michael already started.
Yes Michael, let’s go to another hundre. You made a good a start for Volume 3 already.
From an older series….
Dutch Asperitas
You spotted them really close Donatella. My favorite is the first one crossing an older and higher trail. Great contrast.
More Hieroglyphs
Love your last one Michael: Great cloud sculpture with lacunosus and a hint of asperitas as well (I think).
More Hints
Very nice Greg.
Next one was spotted in between some showers when the clouded sky just opened up enough.
Sweeping indeed Keelin. It is fine with me too. And a great radiatus by Allan. Welcome to you.
Purple Without Rain
Nice “pick up sticks” association Catherine. Is it the same as Mikado? That is the name of the game we use in Holland.
Clouds That Look Like Nothing At AllYour #733 would have fitted well in the asperitas thread Michael. Love those line in it.
Smoke Signal
Thank you Keelin and… wow, what an inspiring Illumination you posted. Great contrasts and enchanting atmosphere.
Wavy Shapes
Great blues in your last one Michael. This one is from two days ago. A bit distant but nevertheless present.
I love to think I would be able to send you such a bright sundog, Keelin, but unfortunately I am not. Maybe it is better this way but you spotted a very bright sundog indeed.
And a parhelic plus 22 degrees halos by Greg. In particular the parhelic is intriguing. Might that be a 120 degrees parhelion in the middle of the arc? What do you thing Greg?
Meanwhile I am still waiting for new optical phenomena over here. So I had to dive in my archive and found this one I did not use earlier (except from other versions of the occasion). It is my “Contrail Splitter” (you can see why I choose this name). What makes it a candidate for his thread is the white band in the top of the feathers of the splitter. It is a small and clear segment of the parhelic circle.
