I love Against The Tide Keelin and also Arizona B&W #176 Michael. Lisa captured a classical 22 degrees halo in cirrostratus. That one works very well in black and white. Love it as well.
Lurking Creatures
Two maidens in a waterfall indeed Keelin. A different view is always surprising. Then a Dog Paddle, infrared Angels in the sky and a Boot. All marvelous cloudy things in my opinion. I am happy as a ..
Cheerful Bird
Keelin, thank you for this great and indeed Open-hearted start of Volume IX. Imediately followed by this cool Arizona Color #900 by Michael. It is like looking onto a gentle rippling pond.
Fluffy And Bulbous
Great Giraffe Ruth.
I had not noticed yet the mysterious maiden at the waterfall Michael spotted, but it must be Keelin who did and I must admit the lady is there for sure. Head up and taking a big gulp of the falling water. Wonderful.
Seeing this I’d love to take a shower myself under the Shower Head that Keelin posted.
All kinds of wellness are suddenly here after a lot of creatures were presented. Next fellow is taking a sunbath at the end of the day.
Sunbather
Oops, in my reponse to Ruth: … despite must be although .. and abounded (what must that mean?..) must be abandoned. Does that make more sense?
Wow Dave, welcome here …. and these are astonishing pictures of asperitas. The infrared reveals a really turbulent and wild cloudscape. I remember that on on the 3rd of August a picture of yours was CAD. It was cirrus and also taken in infrared accompanied by a great explanation of the used method. The extra contrast the infrared gives is amazing. This is different than to try to enhance contrast with all the tricks LR provides. I hope to see more of these from you.

Ruth, this is surprising. I answered Keelin yesterday and I had not seen yet your ’Light At The End Of The Tunnel’ despite you posted it before my post. Unexpected behavior of the site I suppose. I love it. It has a mysterious abounded feel with these bare tree trunks in the middle.
Michael you captured a lovely lonely little cumulus being sandwiched in Arizona Color #834 (but I prefer the words Keelin used to describe that one).
Keelin, having read your nice and also eloquent answer I am very curious for the clouds that will be caused by a wild thought from you. Maybe I have seen already a lot of examples – like Floating Inspirations – but this seems to promise something …… yes, what? I look forward to it for sure!
Next one is dedicated to memories of good old times.
MemoriesKeelin, thank you for answering so nicely my – maybe cheeky – question about your affinity with infinity. Your wording is a pleasure to read and I had a laugh about your observation of the irrational numbers. Do you know there are also imaginary numbers? And it struck me that you mentioned the Möbius strip. I assume you know the drawing by Escher of the ants on a Möbius strip? When I was at school (ahh, ages ago!) I used to make Möbius strips with paper and glue and then cut them in two (lengthwise). Try it and see what happens.
You are right, beauty does not have to be understood. It just have to be recognized like you explain so well, comparing math with the appreciation of clouds. So let’s keep on tickling the eye and spirit with cloudy surprises as you did with your ingenious ‘On Its Way To Becoming A Möbius Cloud Strip’. Love it!
You wrote “Vagueness might well stay in Vagueness” and maybe next one illustrates that (a bit).
Wavy Vagueness
Peach Flambé and then a slice of Watermelon? Both mouthwatering colors Keelin and Ruth.
Might there also be some honey around at sunset?
Bear Family At Sunset
By the way Keelin, I almost forgot to mention I remember the lemniscate in the B&W thread. I still wonder what your affinity is with infinity-day, since you made clear you’re not from the math part of the campus. Did I remember well?
Pastel Painting
What a feast in this thread. A tribute to Carl Jung’s Shadow concept by Lisa shows a turbulent cirrus filled sky. This triggered me to learn more about the concept.
Michael produced some really different textures in #171, #172 and #173. I love #171 most of the three, but that is not because I see the head of a cow in it. Did anyone notice? Nevertheless for me it are the different layers in #171 with the gentle white dots on the foreground that I love.
And Marbled Marvel is a true marvel indeed Keelin. It is one that makes you happy looking at it. Summer Storm has a complete different and appealing mood. Mysterious. Contemplation?
Unrest
Hello Steven, it is just a bit different than you think. The clouds don’t travel, the waves travel. This way a lenticularis cloud can hover above the same place, being the place where the air is forced to rise by the wave in order to condense and form a lenticularis cloud. Here is a nice timelapse that shows lenticularis clouds at the tops of waves seemingly staying in one place.
Here is a link with a scheme of what happens: Lenticularis explained
I hope you like the info. With best wishes, Hans
I like the theme of veils, whether tattered or not, you both posted three great variations on the theme.
