Thank you, Hans, for kind comment on Frosty (a few posts up). And Wow! The contrail game just keeps surprising me — as do the lesser quantities. Beautiful astonishments from everyone. And wouldn’t we all like to climb that Rope Hans caught hold of?
I’ve never heard of anti-contrails, so thank you, George, for posting your image. I’ve seen something like that only once and wondered about it. Also curious as to what looked like a dark contrail in the image below. Anyone have an idea about this? Is it just due to time of day being nearly sunset?
And Alec, what do you mean your time is short?! If this is the only moment to say so, I want to offer many thanks for the flash of brilliance and inspiration you’ve brought us here on the expanded forums. If you must go, please do come back!
So many beautiful images from all of you! What a joy to have these glimpses of the sky from others’ eye views. Thanks to all!
And another surprise, at least for me, has been the striking images that include power lines. They’re something I’ve tried to avoid in the past, but the photos Donna, Alec and Hans recently posted have me looking at them in a new light. So thanks for this too, the opening of my eyes.
Michael, the colors you’ve captured in Arizona are breathtaking. And George, your moon in the trees is particularly stunning with that hint of the fullness cradled there. I hope you’ll continue making videos too.
And I have to smile when I think back to the launch of this topic and Hans posted his amazing Crazy Colours with the comment, “I hope a lot will follow.” Who could have predicted such a fabulous flow!
Sunset NestHans, that looks like how I feel when I see any type of iridescence in the sky. Just little sighting yesterday had my toes all awiggle.
Winter Solstice sunset. And now I understand what might have made this the longest night! Bonus time for dreamzzz…
Alec, Hans, I agree! The more the merrier especially with crows’ instability. Bring out the bubbly and let’s celebrate! As for the contrail count, I cannot compete, but have just this one from yesterday’s late afternoon.
Frosty SingularityWhat’s Up Doc made my eyebrows rise in surprise, Hans. And while I can imagine Shine On in color, the B&W you’ve posted here is truly dramatic, Michael.
Surprise!Thanks, Cloverpatch! Your photo above is a splendid example of beauty not lost in Black & White, while your images in color below are pure golden globes of wonder. It looks like you get plenty of big sky there for capturing wild weather.
Your Ballerina has some followers, Hans, drawn to her luminous dance.
Fans Of The Ballerina With FireballA fantastic webby wonder, Hans. And I think I see a bee of light (a light bee-ing?) caught in Michael’s Duplicatus above, while below, the weave looks to be of the sheerest fabric.
Veiled SunsetAll of the above — Extraordinary! And anyway you spell it, Aspersatusitas inspiresus. But speaking of nomenclature, what would fit for the effect shown below. I’ve seen this type of spikiness in the clouds before and thought perhaps the sky was hinting my hair could us some gel. (At this age, I’m really too old, yet still too young, to be reaching for the blue tint.)
