To my eye, your layered CloudScape is like the wind written record of a celestial dialogue. Glad you rediscovered this gem, Michael.
And Hans, Something On the Wing reminds me of an Aurora Borealis dance. The sweep of clouds is no less beautiful for its restricted color.
Here’s another one that holds Some Bit of Mystery.
Wow, Micheal, as I continue to look at your Soluble image above, what emerges is the distinct form of a female faery facing to the left with long hair flowing and butterfly-like wings. And as Hans pointed out some time ago, once ones sees, one cannot un-see. Magic is happening here!
Whether there’s sense to be made or not, your image is intriguing, Michael. The title seems quite fitting! Continuing the thread of mystery here, could this be a veil dropped by your dancer, Hans? Or the plume of a passing whale?
Veil or Whale?
While I knew of the word, I didn’t know the interesting details of the science behind it. The information at the link you’ve shared here is enlightening and the video of petrichor aerosols being release is captivating. I found myself breathing in while watching. Thank you, Laurence!
Laurence, your question surely prompts a smile as it inspires memories of such occasions. Ah, that first gift of rain! And there’s even a special word for that lovely fresh scent: Petrichor, which is defined as “a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather.”
Well, I’ve heard pixies are always ready to dance — and why not? As elusive as clouds, you’re lucky to have captured that one even for a mid-twirl moment, Hans.
And Michael, your Variety of Texture has much to say about light and shadow as well as surfaces. As does your Window Being Cleaned, Hans (clever title!). Here is one with a title inspired by your earlier posts.
Minimal Texture
PS: Ah, I see the winged elf image I posted earlier is rather too big to easily see how the wing is attached at the shoulder with a hint of upper arm. More evident, I think, when it is reduced to proper faery size.
Divine musings on the waving and swirling and spinning of Light and Shadow. And Michael, your Altocumulus with virgo posted a couple of days ago on the CAS Gallery reminds me of wings! Here’s one that appears to be still attached — to an elf, would be my guess.
Michael, the light in your Cloud Composition seems to keep moving! It has the intriguing feeling of a mystical dance, perhaps like a whirling dervish but in slow motion.
Here, I’m still working on capturing a Palette of Greys.
… and yet, Further Offshore, there is relative serenity.
PS: Caught your Silver Lining on the CAS Gallery today, Hans — what a beauty!!
Is this Arc of Light your Gandalf’s doing, Hans? It does look like the darkness below is diminishing. Let’s hope it coaxes all those unsavory creatures back into the box!
