    Thank you for sharing these, Hans. The iridescence is downright magical, and the corona certainly adds an element of mystery to an otherwise very B&W image. Nice captures!

    The motion of the ocean is definitely there in your shot, Hans. So good to feel the tide returning~~~

    PS: Will we get to see the rest of your series somewhere in color?

    Thank you, Hans. You’ve inspired a new “harpdo” which I’ll be sure to try out tomorrow morning. And Michael, just be careful rifling through that desk drawer. You wouldn’t want a Startled Stinger on your hands.

    Fabulous photos, you two! Peculiar, funny, stunning, surreal.

    Something I found in the mirror that scared me more than a shark.

    Thank you, Hans and Michael. Having just returned from a long weekend under cloudless skies, the latest images above are a delightful balm for these eyes. In gratitude, here’s a Layered Cake to share.

    Michael, kudos on your Turn at Anywhere. It is surely as seductive as any hypnagogic imagery I’ve ever seen. And Hans, not to worry, ZigZag itself is a direction worth following — new perspectives at every turn! Then again, we can always Just Spin Around and take off anew.

    Prompted by Hans’s reply, I returned to look yet again. And now the fourth is coming forth with even more dimension (4D?!) and what emerges is a close-up view of a lacy neckline and fingers holding the sphere. What I find most amazing is that despite the overall complexity of the lacunosus pattern, my mind can’t help but search for something familiar within. Michael, your series is now reminding me of the autostereograms (“magic eye” images) that became so popular back in the ‘90s.

    Hans, I did not know the Atmospheric Optics site, so thank you very much! It will be a great pleasure to explore. And I’m not surprised to hear Gavin is involved in it.

    The cloudy character below (who apparently has a twin across the pond!) has been haunting my archives for quite some time, but I had yet to settle on a proper name for him. Based on what’s been written above (“…a hint of Anywhere in the distance” and “…our journey to Anywhere…”), it seems only right to call him “Anywhere”. Wouldn’t you agree?

    Agreed, indeed! I can’t help feeling something essential is missing when the heavens above remain a blank palate.

    One blue sky day, there suddenly appeared a single, lonely cloud head. It looked about to say something and I wondered if it might summon its friends, speaking out in an eloquent stream of cirrus, a grand puff of cumulous, or maybe even a delicate arc dappled with brilliant points like the parhelic circle Hans posted yesterday to the B&W thread. So many possibilities!

    Wow, Hans, you are lucky indeed! Looks like 5-10 minutes of sheer bliss. I like seeing both images you’ve posted here as it shows how we can be fully captivated and glued to the spot in which we first see such splendor. While I’ve yet to see such a wonder myself, I feel fortunate to have looked up while watering the garden one morning to be awed by the appearance of a 22˚ halo (prettier, of course, in color).

    PS: Also enjoyed your River of Stratus on the CAS Gallery – lovely!

    Fantastic, Michael! Each one, a honeycomb of delight. Hard to choose a favorite here, but I find the nearly 3D spherical shape in image four of the B&W series particularly magnetic. I keep expecting it to take off on a roll. Thank you for sharing these with us.

    Well, I for one would like to catch a ride inside one of your crystal clear bubbles, Hans. And float on through the Sky’s version of the rabbit hole you’ve made reference to, Michael. Such a Mysterious Passageway could lead anywhere!
