Hans StockerParticipantThanks for sharing George. Fantastic series for sure. I am curious whether Don will find his signature on the pano :)
Hans StockerParticipantWelcome WangYingLu! I can’t resist the temptation to reply with a typical Dutch windmill.

Hans StockerParticipantAlready Volume VI…. Ah, such a fine start by Michael and then the virga Blowing In The Wind by Keelin (together with some answers?).
Trying to stay close to the wonderful tender structure of Arizona Color #602….

Dotted
Hans StockerParticipantWell, looking up really pays off! Love the fine structures in Mysterious Forces Keelin. B&W #203 and #204 by Michael are both wonderful compositions. Forgive me my pareidolia, but I see bright white teeth (#203) and a close up of an elephant (#204), while #204 also gives this abstract feeling of an infinite space.

Centrifugal
Hans StockerParticipantTo all: my workaround for the login problem that seems to re-occurr is first to login to be sure you are really logged in, then go to a different page you want to go to (forum, gallery, whatever). Each time your login is forgotten by the system (you can see that because your avatar top right of the screen disappears) do a refresh of the page and the avatar (and so your login) reappears and you can go on. I hope it helps.
Ramona, I would have thought myself it was a fallstreak hole you spotted, but the analysis by your friend is quite decisive and clever (unfortunately for you). I am sure you can do your dance later this year when you keep looking for altocumulus. When there are also planes in the neighborhood you soon will dance. Good luck!
Hans StockerParticipant…. but less is more Michael. Very nice #93.

Just A Bit More
Hans StockerParticipantAlong For The Ride is indeed overwhelming Keelin. Impressive composition.

Determined About Its Direction
Hans StockerParticipantLove the blues in #114 and the virga streaks in #115 Michael. And Neil posted at the end of the year a fine composition of contrasting clouds.
Next one shows also some kind of contrast.

Differences
Hans StockerParticipantLike the crow I would also like an encore Keelin and George. Very niche hairy halo Keelin, and great sun pillar George! This makes me think that – when watching an optical phenomenon – I am always a bit disappointed when it vanishes and find myself afterwards trying to remember what it was like. But then there are still the pictures in the case the camera was at hand. The lyrics you quoted Keelin say it just as it is.

Scattered Sundog
Hans StockerParticipantThank you very much Keelin for kind compliments. It is really nice to read you enjoy my silly thoughts. And please know your replies are also a joy to me. The Great Depth Of Wonder is an example of beauty and simplicity. Less is so much more!

Hans StockerParticipantBe sure you certainly don’t bore us with these great pictures George. Like Laurence I am not the envious type but I feel the same like he so eloquently described. Love your pictures and the stories you exchange with Don. Thanks for sharing!
Hans StockerParticipantVery nice Keelin. I really had to laugh about your reply. I wanted to ask Alice about like you suggested, but got stuck in the rabbit hole. I maybe had too much rarebit?
Hans StockerParticipantThanks Michael.
By the way: I still have to refresh the page content regularly after seemingly getting logged out, but not always.

Like A Cavity
Hans StockerParticipantGreat capture of the sundogs, George. A 44 degree parhelion is rare, so congrats. Unfortunately I don´t have an answer to your question about the height of the sundog that seems to be not at the same level as the sun itself. On the other hand I am sure you don´t see a subsun. A subsun must be just as far under the horizon as the sun is above. That is why you can only spot a subsun from a plane or from a mountain top. When the brighter spot on your picture is the sun, you might see a lower pillar beneath the sun (I think it is there), but that does not explain the extension to the left and right of the bright spot (like the parhelic) unless that spot is the sun. In that case the brighter spot above the sun is the puzzle.
I suppose you wanted to have more time to make pictures entering the plane. It is a lovely extra to your fantastic aurora experiences you already described elsewhere. I hope to see more of it!
