I like your video George. Love the waves of fog coming and going. Thanks for sharing.
By the way: did you see the noctilucent clouds you hoped for in Finland?
Haha, the goose is being measured! Someone must know the answer by now Keelin.
Have you ever seen an unfriendly cloud? Well I just met one.
Don’t You Dare To Picture Me!
Nice purples Michael. I found a good explanation about the color purple: Purple sky by volcano dust.
I don’t have any volcanoes nearby so no purples over here. I had a lot of sunsets with clear blue skies and the colors were spectacular but no purples. I hope to upload one soon but my problem with recognizing my camera by the laptop is back again. I have to solve that issue first. Grrrr.
Great Fido Keelin. You can see he was quite excited about his fight with the feathers.
And many thanks Michael for good advise and background info. After all I found some time today to roll back the last update successfully and the Eos Utility worked fine again. So I have the picture I wanted to post here and it fits in perfectly. It is not Fido but our own puppy named Flo. We will be off for three weeks but …
Flo Joins Us
You are right Keelin. My aha moment about “Woodstock at 50” caused more than a sky-wide grin on my face. No reveal necessary. It is hilarious.
And so is Fido Frees The Feathers. Ingenious title it is. I never thought of feathers wanting to be freed but a dog is needed to make me realize that cushions are mere prisons for feathers. I can see it happen in front of me having a puppy of about 9 months now. Love it!
By the way: have you seen the sitting dog on the painting by Fred Kenyon ( now published on the home page)? Would he have realized this painted cloud looks like a dog?
I am so sorry having two candidates on my camera ready for this thread, but not being able to upload them to my laptop after a recent Windows update. The Canon Eos Utility which I use to upload pictures from the camera is not recognized anymore by Windows. Stupid update! I can’t find a quick clue for solving this. I have to sort this out three weeks later when I am back from some vacation without internet facilities except for my phone.
Thanks Michael and #423 is a beauty with reds from volcano dust. It must be a coincidence the APOD on atoptics is about volcano dust. Here is the link: Volcanic Twilights.
A Sunset Over The North Sea (IJmuiden)
thanks for the wonderful celebration Keelin. And today your 22 degrees halo with circumscribed halo and / or upper tangent arc is Cloud-A-Day accompanied with a nice explanation. Congrats!
A big smile from the sky (and me) for you.
This post makes me really smile Laurence. Many thanks for sharing. Especially the third picture in the link undertitled “Gaps in the cloud make for an unusual circumzenithal arc in Brent Cross, London” by Sarabell is a beauty! Love this one most but also the other ones.
Keelin, I love your possi-billyg (or Portrait In Progress). To me it is certi-billyg. Great find! And thanks about the cloud of the month. I am pleasantly surprised about it, also in a second way, for I did not sent it in myself. It is a spotting from the Cloudspotter app taken with the phone. Shortly Gavin started to post the pictures of the day on the gallery (and this one was ‘just” candidate picture of the day). Nice to do so I think. Anyway I like the explanation accompanying the picture. There are always new things to learn about clouds.
Arizona Color #701 is a monumental cauliflower of a cloud Michael. Overwhelming details.
Indeed quite the mood on your last two posts Keelin and Michael. They make a perfect pair.

Michael your #421 is magical and – when possible- your #422 is even more magical. #422 could have been done by Turner imho. And Turner would have loved the Fiery sunset of your last post Keelin.
Lost Cloud In Reds
Is your “Woodstock at 50?” another attempt to undermine my mind Keelin? I just succeeded to survive mentally your explanation of “…And Then”. I would not have found it, but now it is seen crystal clear, so …
A Grin In The Sky
