Keelin, I love these Strange Tidings and the waves they produce. They are so foamy.
Today these waves came by.
Ah yes Keelin, a dashed line means you can change lanes. Your Blue Highway is an inviting road to go.
Here is a lane at sunset. Unfortunately no possibility to change lanes.
…. and today your Cirrus Intortus serves in the Cloud-A-Day service, Keelin. Congrats.
Lenticulars with remnants of asperitas (I think…..)
Keelin, how nice and surprising to read about your fantastic dream. You say you are from the other side of the campus (what a nice way of saying you are not in math!) and where others “on that side of the campus” have bad dreams of math you seemingly had this great beautiful lucid dream you describe so well and vividly. What I read makes me think your mystical dream revealed the secrets of the great unification theory that is still sought for ever since Einstein started this quest. You are privileged!
Yes, I saw your tilde in the clouds, but I just googled on your creative title and found the article from which I copied the quote. Like you say these words make your head swim in a positive way. I never heard of tilde transformations before but on the other hand I must confess very, very, very long ago I studied physics and was familiar with the Schödinger equation. Indeed lots of math is involved. In those days I was able to write formula’s down of which I now don’t even know the meaning anymore. They seem to have evaporated in clouds of many different kinds. Ahhh, those were the days.
With what I wrote above you can imagine that the Element Of Surprise couldn’t have been a better response. I recognize your beautiful picture on the gallery in it. I agree with the well-chosen words by Michael, it is indeed an image between sight and sound.
Michael, thanks for confirmation of the Holmboe. What strikes me in Arizona color #100 is the resemblance with what I recently spotted myself in a asperitas filled sky. The great unification theory of clouds? Your #100 has some characteristics of asperitas also imho.
A lookalike on this side of the pond
And I also send on Keelin’s request another peculiar looking Holmboe though it is a digital one.

Hello Alexandra, Nice pictures!
What you call stack of clouds is a nice street of clouds in a row, so stratocumulus. They seem to be stacked bur that is just perspective and they are properly queuing. For what I don’t know.
Your second picture shows a great scenery with altocumulus lenticularis.
Look for them by selecting the cloud type or cloud feature in the gallery (click on the icon between the search and the avatar top right in the main menu of the gallery) and you will find lots of other beautiful examples.
I hope this helps?
Best wishes, Hans
Are you in math Keelin? ” A ”tilde” transformation transforms the timedependent
Schrödinger equation into an inhomogeneous equation containing smoothed
initial conditions. The approach is much simpler than the Schwartz’s theory of distributions.” Love it!And Michael turns out to be a cloud whisperer! So much surprises…….
Recently I spotted this strange exploding lenticular formation in a wild lenticular sky with some remnants of asperitas that passed a bit earlier. I suppose Holmboe was there?
Holmboe Was Here?
Nice pano George with two small segments of a redbow. I am sure kayaking is more safe on the hudson bay btw.
Radio Corona On Air
Back to black (and white)… lost some feathers (….) and gained some new cloudscapes. I saw your colour version of Cirrus Florentine on the gallery Keelin. A feast for the eyes. As is Night Bloom and Cloud Shroud.
Arizona B&W #168 is also a very beautiful one with this moon-like formation in a gentle grey pallet, Michael.
Different Heights, Different Clouds
Thanks Laurence for posting. I learned about analemma´s and I noticed that a mouse-over shows the dates at which the position of the sun is represented as a dot in the analemma.
Michael, your cumulus over Red Mountain is very peculiar. It really looks pulled up as you wrote.
Here’s a very recent one in black and white.
How about an iridescent square Hygge? I found it scrolling through my archive. Its origin might be contrail but I am not sure.
Hello Jan, you made a fantastic picture of these fallstreak holes.
Michael: I am amazed by the picture of this long fallstreak hole made by a plane. together with your precise observations you put also a nice and interesting question forward: Are there any fallstreak holes known in art before the existence of airplanes?
I am sure fallstreak holes must have been observed in years in the plane-less area of our history, for indeed a plane is just one of the possible sources of a fallstreak hole. The process can also be triggered without a plane in a natural way. Who will come up with an answer or example?
George: thanks for confidence in me about an explanation and although there will be questions I can’t answer, this is one I positively can answer. As you already suggest two CZA’s are simply physical impossible. With a given position of the sun and a given position of the observer there is only one place in the sky the CZA might appear when the conditions are right. The second more faint arc in between the sun and the CZA is ‘just’ the upper part of the 22 degrees halo (maybe or maybe not combined with the upper tangent arc).
I hope I don’t disappoint anyone with this analysis, but the picture itself is as amazing as it is and I love it very much. I can only hope to observe these three phenomena together once myself. Wow! And nice to remember this fantastic picture by John Deed from 2007 Hygge.

The way you can simulate the effect of the height of the sun makes it very instructive. Fun to play with and very helpful in understanding where you can find what at any height of the sun.
