    Nice imitative Don to start this thread. It immediately made me remember an exhibition here in Haarlem, where I live, about Dutch skies by Dutch artists. Fortunately not many BBS’s over here!

    I spotted this cumulus at the exhibition.

    A true Thing, meant to look like a cloud (underneath in the spot light a small sun bathing figure in a beach chair).

    On the same exhibition a Dutch artist also made clouds inside. I wasn’t there at the right moment, but I found this link with pictures of his work. The article is in Dutch, but the pictures speak for themselves.

    Berndhaut Smilde, cloud art.

    Maybe showing not true “things” that look like clouds, but being artificial still nice to share over here.

    George, nice picture of a sunset. It is also my first thought that the color patch is a UTA.  One can simulate the different appearances of the UTA with changing the height of the sun on atoptics (and also meteoros.de), but unfortunately the simulations don’t support a height below zero degrees, so I could not really verify the possibility. Still it is verifiable to see a UTA when the sun is at – or just under – the horizon. Very nice.

    A nice link to share from atoptics: Very rare Swedish halos. Al the halos are named.

    The same occasion on The Halo Vault: Complex halo display.

    Wow!

    Fun indeed. Nice and fine pattern in Arizona Color #112. A wrinkled sky.

    And Frozen folly is what it says it is Keelin. A true skating rink also. Though for skating it might be too soon , may this be …

    Let is snow, let it snow! Great snowy picture with this title I had to look up. Your whigmaleerie also must have invoked the snow over here, Keelin! This night there was some snow over here. It left a nice white tapestry although it wont last for long for it is melting already.

    Yes the login was for me two weeks ago also wonkeres Michael. Recently I found a workaround. Login, go to the forum or to a specific topic on the forum or even elsewhere and at each point where you find yourself logged out, just refresh the page. For me it worked well. Hope it helps you too.

    Very nice impression Keelin with A View From The Dry Side! I assume you have longed for some wet weather over there. Dancing in the rain?

    Michael your last two show gentle blues an gentle cambers. Must have been in an asperitas filled sky?

    Love the composition of Cirrus Intortus Lemniscatus Keelin, with its subtle metamorphosis from regular streaks at the bottom to the intortus chaos above.

    Yes Michael, Keelin brought the sunsets with Second Floor Sunset to a next level.  Very funny title.

    Nice dark blue atmosphere on Sunset  #401 btw.

    Keelin, your View From The Crow’s Nest reminds me of that strange bird that left the forum just a year ago. Recently I noticed his contributions on the website The halo Vault. Optical pheneomena clearly have his specific interest (and I also like to keep up with the strange pheneomena that are shared on that site!).  Like a true Crow he seemingly appreciates the glittering of halos.

    Great view on Asperitas #143 Michael. I noticed that this thread rapidly approaches a new volume (but not yet).

    Another B&W one from me spotted in July.

    Thank you both!. And I like to emphasize again what Don and Keelin said about this site: it is so much fun and inspiring to exchange pictures and thoughts on this forum. It is now “only” two years ago Michael grandfather of abstract B&W’s started the Black and White Thread and now there are several threads for about five or more extra specific themes. Let’s go on amazing each other.
