Talk about surreal! Who or what might be tethered to that bright chain of light you’ve teased us with, Hans? A blond artist hovering above an alien planet? The mind can’t help but wonder. Be that as it may, I like your image very much!
And Michael, glad to see you found a way around a posting glitch. Let’s see if this one makes it.
Not Taken Through A Muddy WindowOnce again, Hans, you’ve managed to be in the right place at the right time to capture a magical moment. Lovely!
PS: And hartelijk gefeliciteerd for having your Aveyron image chosen as this past Saturday’s cloud of the day!
Below might fit in with the Cloud Doodles, but posted here, it could be The Return of the Unknown Artist from B&W IV (perhaps a friend of Miro?). The mystery continues…
The image below has strayed even farther from your original inspiration for this thread, Michael. Yet I find the color and texture pleasing enough to share, and also want to thank you for having initiated some playful exploration here. And Hans, your image is so lovely to look at. I keep going back.
So funny, Hans! You are a keen observer (even in the dark of a movie theatre) and perhaps prescient in what you’ve seen in Michael’s intriguing Not a Sunset (the image below is evidence!). And as adorable as your friend above may appear, I’d watch out for him at sunset.

Couldn’t agree with you more, Hans — especially when the weather’s been so hot hot hot here. Time for A Moonlit Walk Along The Shoreline ~~~
Wonder-full images above, you two — very nourishing to these local-cloud-deprived eyes! It’s been all blue skies here (again) for days, so it’s back to spelunking the dark caverns of archival photos. But wait… is that A Way Out, just past the stalactites?
Felicity, welcome! You’ve captured an impressive “Lennie” with a good dose of drama and mystery. Thank you for sharing it with us, and to echo Hans, we hope you will continue to post here.
And Hans, I enjoy the notes very much (bedanken!) for the mind-sparkling way they work to weave the threads of our communal tapestry.
From both you and Michael, I’m still learning to see the essence (what IS the matter) of cloud beauty drilled down — which in turn, not surprisingly, reminds me of the succinct writings of Lydia Davis. It’s become a fruitful exercise in stretching the mind as well.
Mind Over Matter
Your Hyena is a haunting beauty, Michael. I want to go there and hear him calling out to the brightness in the darkness.
Below, with a nod to Leonard Cohen…
A Tangle of Matter and GhostStill trying to capture that unique quality you’ve mastered, Michael. The attempt has me looking at clouds both fresh and archival with new eyes. Thank you for this inspiration!
Dedications, Evocations, the lightness of feathers. All aspects inspire…
Found This One Under My Pillow
Evocative and inspiring, Michael. Hope to see more!
While my offering below doesn’t have as distinct a watercolor feel as what you’ve achieved in your images, it’s been fun exploring in this new direction.
And I must say Thank You again to Gavin for providing a forum in which we can continue to share our love of clouds in new ways that honor their enduring beauty.
PS: That tiny white dot near the center is the moon, just beyond its first quarter phase.
