Thanks Hygge for sharing. These are all very special and beautiful. They must certainly be to GWW´s liking with enough landscape in it. Love the one with the ice on the foreground, but naming one doesn´t do justice to the beauty of the others.
Nevertheless … ´Coming Through´ by Keelin is likewise very special and beautiful being an abstract in blues. Great composition Keelin.
Simplicity
Ha, I overlooked this reply from you Michael and having read it now it like the measuring units you use for some weather figures, especially the one for humidity. Can’t be pleasant!
Here under you write about records in rainfall for Phoenix Arizona. Over here we experience the opposite. It has never been so dry this summer, still being under the influence of a large high pressure system.
Crazy capped clouds in this thread by the way. Love them.
How about a sunset in black and white? The birds are gathering to find a place in the three to sleep.
Thank you Keelin. I know for sure they will come your way too to audition for your camera. The wind already picked up your wish to spread it among the weather gods.
What Will It Bring
This amazing sun dance will surely give warm feet Laurence. In a former post you shared already an enormous sun-flame. Both unimaginable. Thanks for sharing.
Great soft Feathery Fan Keelin. I´d love to keep me cool with those. I love the composition with the vanishing point outside the image top right to which attention is drawn.
Enough soft clouds are there still to share.
Soft Parade
Yes, you are right Michael, it was a pretty neat day. The show lasted three or four hours. The asperitas was followed in that timeframe by lenticular formation with seemingly some asperitas characteristics leftover. I posted some of those in the Color Thread, for example my favorite ‘Cloudshow’, ‘Soft Clouds’ and the ones with Holmboe. Ever seen something like Cloudshow?
Nice to see two sets of clouds with asperitas on your Arizona Asperitas #129.
Asperitas Phase #2
Dear Kay, you’re welcome.
Nice to read it was what I suggested. On my turn I had to look up what a monotype is and – with what I have read – I am really surprised you chose to make a monotype of what you saw. It does not seem to be a very quick process compared to making a picture (but I agree, the batteries must cooperate). The more because the clouds and optical effects are so quickly changing. And … the more I look forward for your monotype on the gallery.
By the way: a jpg can easily made smaller with some photoshop facilities or the standard resize feature of Windows.
You must have a privileged view high over London from Hampstead. So I suppose you enjoy cloud- and rainbowspotting over there.
Best wishes again,
Hans
Hello Kay,
To me it seems you have seen a redbow. Never seen one myself by the way. A redbow is a rainbow but being only red, or almost only red. I read you spotted it at sunset and redbows only occur at sunset (or sunrise for early risers) when the sun is low and only the reds are left over to form a rainbow.
Here is a link with an explanation. On the page where you are linked to, you can also find two other links (bottom right) to more examples of which the second one is indeed only red.
On the gallery you can also find examples by selecting ‘Rainbow’ and ‘Sunset/Sunrise’.
I am curious whether this redbow looks like what you saw. I have no suggestion for your black Japanese style blops of clouds. Maybe lenticulars being black because the sun sets and they don’t catch light any more? Just a wild guess….
Best wishes, Hans
Billy Bluegoat is one to be proud of Keelin. It is a lucky kid in you that found our mutual friend Billy looking a bit caught in the act (of steeling partridge?) but also happy and unaware of any wrongdoing. He is cute and I love him.
Everybody Is talking About Billy Bluegoat
Thanks Keelin. Nice shapes and composition has your Arched Pasageway. It makes me think of the Squared Undulatus I posted in the asperitas thread. This one seems to have the same features. Anyway I love it for its smooth arch that seems to embrace the ripples.
Since you mentioned Dali (from the same cloudshow):
Soft Clouds
Yes, I can find the same kind figures googling on relative humidity Hygge. It is so different from our climate that I was surprised.
Nevertheless I found an extraordinary atypical peak in the humidity in the beginning of October. Can´t see that high humidity in other months. Something very wet must have happened a week ago Michael?
