Fantastic, Michael! What a fun idea for a new forum topic. I’ll be looking out (and up!) for more Cloud Doodles. Do you want to say something about your process in creating these?
Thank you, Hans! I would very much like to dance with Abandon and drink in its cool quenching mist.
And if I were a painter, Michael, your Greetings From a Sun Rise would be all the inspiration needed for a day in the studio. Impressionistic and impressive.
It continues to amaze me how converting a cloudscape to black and white and tweaking the contrast a bit will sometimes bring it right down to earth. If I were a writer of mystery novels, I’d want to follow this Moonlit Path (below) from the shores of the cloud lake and see where it leads.
That subtle white wisp in Hans’s White Giant also beckons.
Moonlit Path
Not sure why the above comment and image posted twice. I’ve tried to delete the duplicate, but it must be hard to put this fire out. Can someone advise how to douse the flame?
Michael, your Mainly White image is simply and subtly so luscious. And Hans, I like seeing the further structure you’ve revealed in Minimal Music part ll — fantastic!
Out of town for just a couple of days and I see this thread has remained hot. I might have to go visit the wave thread to cool off.Still Ablaze

Thank you, Michael! I very much appreciate the time and careful detail you’ve given to my query. I’m sure there’s a learning curve involved, but I feel encouraged to keep at it by the stunning images you and Hans continue to share here. I just love ‘em (and hope they’re restored soon!).
Sorry for my misleading comment/question, Michael. I meant to write that your image had the rich tonal luster of a gelatin silver print and wondered if you’d somehow captured this effect by use of a special filter. (The image “A misty morning in Bluff, Utah, US” by Paul Martini, posted April 6, 2017 on the gallery has this same lustrous quality.) And thank you for further explanations on your process. I, too, am learning so much from this forum exchange.
Indeed, it is a beautiful day from the start, Hans, when I wake to such amazing images as posted here. They continue to inspire!
Wind and Fire
Michael, so glad you chose to post your photo (a couple images up). Did you use a special filter? I ask because it has that mysterious luster I associate with gelatin prints. Now there’s fifty shades of grey I don’t mind seeing.
And Hans, there is such a playful feel in Curling Cumulus. I keep going back to it because it keeps making me smile.
I agree, it’s still a bit tricky getting images to post, but as noted, we are determined enthusiasts!
Candle in the Wind
An intriguing title, Michael, for an image that has me drawing a breath like the swimmer Hans has seen in it. Now I, too, feel as if I am moving through the clouds.
Meanwhile below, a Fennec Fox offers a little accompaniment for your Minimal Music, Hans.
Oboe Solo
I feel the same way, Hans. So YES, let’s continue to amaze and (a)muse, to dance and dream. And let the wind do what it will!
In the photo below, the shadow of eyelashes softly texture an emerging dreamscape.
Emerging dreamscape
Michael, thank you for re-posting the two images. I am particularly fond of the “mostly grey, Sunset” which evokes for me the feeling of a pleasurable dream half-remembered.
And Hans’s, your most recently posted image from the “weekend with great skies” is like the bright shivers of bliss I feel at the onset of lucidity during dreams. Extraordinary!
I dove in deeply for this one.Could Be From The Sea
Website weirdness aside, I’m just so grateful to be able to see these fabulous images. Here’s one that made me wonder if Hans’s goat was still swimming its way across the sky.
