And here’s one I spotted in the skies above New Mexico last year.

Thank you, Gavin! The better the understanding, the deeper the appreciation for all the wonderment above.

And Hans, beautiful lacy lacunosus you’ve captured there!

[Patricia L Keelin]

Fantastic images! Even a subtle face can be perceived in your Reading The Paper, Michael. And after absorbing news of the world, a good soak in the tub might do much to balance both mind and spirit. I’d like to move my tub out of doors and soak in that peaceful view you have there, Hans. The ultimate in relaxation — especially if it’s a BubbleBath.

The question remains: Where do the bubbles end and the clouds begin?

Talk about tasty treats… Oil on Canvas looks delicious! And the best news is you can indulge all you wish. There’s not a single calorie even in a sky-sized Cup o’Clouds.

Thanks, Hygge. You just never know where they’ll turn up! Here’s one I caught cruising above the vineyards of Napa last week. I can just imagine him swooping down for a tasting of regional grape juices. Perhaps a sip of chilled chardonnay? Something to cool a fiery palate? Cheers!

Thank you, Laurence! That made my nose smile.

Thanks, Hygge!  Similar indeed – and much appreciated. Is there an aquatic descriptive for the type of lacunosus quality depicted in several of Buxin’s Vues sur Mer images? While I don’t have many cloud photos that capture that particular look, here’s one I think comes closest.

There’s also the CAS forum topic “Wave Clouds”, which Michael Lerch launched in October 2016. It is also devoted to B&W images. It’s slipped onto page two at the moment, but like the tide, I have a feeling it will be back.

Thank you, George! I’ve watched your lovely video several times now. There comes a point each time where it feels as if I’m actually flying through the clouds. No doubt the illusion is due to the different levels moving in different directions, but I do my best not to overthink and simply relax into the feeling. So thank you again for the free flight!

[Patricia L Keelin]

Thank you both for your kind words. Here is one I think continues the theme of dimensions and textures — all so touchable! If we could peel open a cloud, might it look something like this?

The Softness Inside

[Patricia L Keelin]

Thanks for posting your series of beautiful Lacunosus images here, Michael. Diving into their coolness is especially refreshing on this hot summer day.

[Patricia L Keelin]

Both Monsoonerism and Cracks In The Ceiling have wonderful textural qualities and dimensions. I can easily feel them in my mind. Here, a flat canvas beckons an unknown artist’s first strokes.

Who Was Here?

[Patricia L Keelin]

Very clever, you two! Meanwhile, Chagall Begins to Dream.

PS: Enjoyed your beautiful Lacunosus on the gallery yesterday, Michael!

[Patricia L Keelin]

Could it be that The Mystery Guest is contemplating The Landscape Ahead?

[Patricia L Keelin]

What I got from what you two gave was a mind trip! Traversing landscapes beautiful and “dreamatic”. And here, perhaps a resting place for a cloud trekker, is one that offers The Softness of Greys.

And Hans, your Alien Rasta Woman further above is absolutely stunning!

(continued from above…) Maybe I should have stopped there. One more twist and it quickly (and irreversibly) morphed into something rather Otherworldly. I shall leave it to your own imaginations lest you be stuck with what emerged there for me.
