    Hello Ramona, I think you are right that these are sun pillars. Upper and lower as well. You saw them with the naked eye and you have them on several images. You can be sure in my opinion. Very nice.

    The red dot right above the sun is a bit of a puzzle. It is surely there so what can it be? Sun flare? It does not look like sun flare to me with this shape. Maybe this is a part of the corona caused by aerosols at that particular place above the sun. It might not be on each image because the areosols were on the move. Any other opinions?

    The title Tossed By The Tides Of Misfortune and what it’s about seem to be very fitting for the turmoil you captured in the sky Keelin. And the atypical lenticular form Michael captured in #115 seems to be tossed too.

    Great website Michael (Erb) with the weatherdetectives.

    Ruth, your anteater made me think of the Ardvark and the Ant. Great cartoon.

    They really look like Ci spissatus Marcel. They might have originated from further away, but spissatus can aslo form on its own. So who can tell whether this is cumulonimbogenitus or not? Very nice anyway!

    That is a great idea and initiative Roeland.

    Lamarck lacked recognition in the end. I found next links about him and his role in the development of the theory of evolution as a biologist. He died unfortunately in poverty.

    Lots of success with your play.

    I agree with George about your corona in Big Ripples Ruth. Also great Big Craters In The Sky with delicate iridescence.

    Thanks Keelin about the gallery one. Maybe you noticed I used a part of it on the B&W thread some weeks ago. The details surprised me on that one. The corona in Iridescent Chameleon is fantastic Keelin. I love its texture and the clear colors. Also great Solo Solar View with halo.

    Thanks for sharing your videos George. They revealed really bright moondogs and a great corona as well.

    They all drew the attention of this

    Thank you Ruth. I understand why you Just Have To Get Out More. That’s a great sky just as is Open Country. There is so much space around and air to breath.

    Welcome Peter, nice shot. It seems that Ruth wants to be home before curfew and you just sat in the middle of it. Great sky to play noughts and crosses.

    Great sunsets and Evening Excitement (Ruth) above. There seems to be some mamma in the stormcloud above Mumbai Salil. Great composition.

    Great B&W’s Richard. I must say the ir technique does make the appearance of the cirrus more thick than it might have been, but it is cirrus in both cases. The fist one may be cirrus floccus. The second one shows two large patches of cirrus. These might be cirrus spissatus but here the ir may be too deceiving to interpret.

    Any other opinions?

    Monochrome Cloudscape is a favorite of mine Keelin. Wonderful composition. And I love your last one Into The Grinder as well.

    Ruth, your mustache-like Mystery made me raise my eyebrows. Mysterious, black and maybe a eyebrow-cloud?

    Your #1906 and #1912 are simply great Michael. You never stop to amaze me.

    Have you heard about the …. parrot in the sky?

    Much fun above! The white puffy cloud by Michael makes me think of a little chick and I think Richard spotted a dragonfly. And I love the snail in Slow Dancer by Keelin. A great find and cloudscape as well.

    Smooth waves in #510, Michael.

    Cloud Fire is amazing. Great cloudscape drama, Richard!

    Love your Ameba Ruth, a nice composition..

    Lovely Clouds, Little Rain looks like it had more rain in it than it delivered Keelin. Still a very nice cloudscape.
