    Well Keelin. I did wonder indeed, but eventually the face appeared and I thought how is it possible I had to look for it first. Very nice. And now he seems to be a friendly version of the violent white orc from the Lord Of The Rings. Or even a cloudy version of cubistic art! I hope pareidolia is harmless….

    I like this composition Neil. Something big is on its way!

    Hygge: nice haiku-like poem (at least your former one one on your 6loud Story thread was not meant to be one?). Short and powerful in its meaning.

    As to the practical point about accessing the forum remember to first login and whenever you go to another page (for  example the forum) and find yourself logged out so you can’t post a reply then do a refresh of the page. This seems to help.

    Don: what is your secret of this cloud hanging above you. Did Berndhaut  Smilde pay you a visit and told you how to make one of your own? Fantastic! I would also like one above me.

    This all made me remember “The man who measures the clouds” who I once saw on a exhibition of work by Jean Fabre. I have a picture of my own but with a background of a BBS so I use one from the internet.

    wolkenmeter (Large)

    The man who measures the clouds.

    In homage to his dead twin brother Emile Fabre, the artist Jean Fabre attempts to measure the immeasurable: the clouds. This action, which led to the famous bronze sculpture, is based on a quote from the prisoner and ornithologist Robert Stroud after his release: ‘I’m going to measure the clouds’.

    Thanks Laurence for extra attention for this spectacular light show. It shows halos I didn’t know they existed. It helps that on the Atoptics sites all of them are named clearly.

    Wow, fantastic mamma coloring in the setting sun. A classic for sure. Love it Neil (or is it Neils?).

    As to the use of the Forum it is like Michael explained. You already discovered there are some topics for specific themes (B&W, Colour, … e.a., just check for more). To add something to that it is good to know that we use the rule of thumb to start a next volume whenever a specific topic reaches the number of 100 posts no matter who starts a next one with the next volume number for that topic. And to emphasize what Michael wrote: no constraints, just fun and the parameter is “Clouds”. We all love to share the fruits of our camera’s the gallery isn’t able to bear (so to speak). So let’s continue and amaze each other.

    Don, it seems not to be only you who pushes a bit on the boundaries. Quite some daredevils you spotted dancing on clouds, or should I say spidermen? Marvelous!

    I like this topic you started. Moonlit Antimaccassars is already very surprising. I will keep my eyes open from now on because my archive will not contain many pictures that might fit.

    Yet I found after some digging next cloudy sky spotted in a museum for glass and art (or vice versa), France 2016. No umbrella needed inside?

    Fantastic pictures can be found in the link you provided Hygge. Thanks for sharing. I agree with you about the sunrise. The morning dew on the foreground makes it enchanting and otherworldly.

    Here – more simply – a composition in reds.

    I understand your point Neils, but luckily it did not withhold you from posting this very nice dragon. Without the comparison with a dragon this is already a very fine picture and composition. Thinking about your point of view I accept every cloud as it is, but sometimes they try to disguise a bit and play with our fantasies.

    I recently spotted this Sky Insect

    A warm welcome Neils. A great entry you make with this lenticular formation at sunset (I suppose). Love it and hope to see more from you!

    Very peculiar Thin Crepesculated Undulatus you captured Michael. Like seen through ribbed glass.

    It seems to be rather unpredictable Michael. Fortunately no problem to post replies so far.

    A nice play of light in this one.

    Thank you Keelin! And cheers. You can´t see but I have a nice glass of wine in front of me. It was a great surprise to me.

    I see you captured the Crow in flight on favorable winds I suppose.

    Here is the proof that waves can´t make up their minds where to go.

    Same applies to me Keelin. And that is a nice pillow to rest our weary heads on.

    It is a very subtle Blush you captured Keelin. love it.

    Here a picture of the sun at his his last attempt at the end of the day to shine through the altostratus making it look like being at the horizon (but it isn’t yet).
