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!
Beautiful swimmer, Michael! Your image catches the light and movement one might see in that sea of wonder below. And as patient (and magnificent) as your Dozing Dragon may appear to be, Hans, a Hasty Retreat may be in order.
Night Waves and Crossing Waves swept me away and brought to mind the lovely song Lighthouse Light by Ry Cavanaugh. Here are just a few lines…
Lighthouse light keep on shining
Keep those ships from your shore
Lighthouse light keep on shining
Shine on to the one that I adoreLighthouse Light
Waves are waves, my friend ~~~ and that is one refreshing Splash! while this below looks more like The Wake at the Lake.
