Ruth, Field of Dreams is aptly titled. I could enjoy a whole day of daydreaming there. And a clever title for your Harmless Radiation, Hans—with a dramatic image as well.
Only a month ago, the sky looked like a large lake of Lacunosus.
Let’s Dive In!Michael, your monsoon photos are a drama to behold. Quite the contrast to Hans’s gentle and peaceful Fluffiness and Frayed, as well as Ruth’s Morning Moon. And Gregory, your Cloudlets would make the coziest of blankets. I’d like to nestle in and watch all these moods of sky pass by.

Thanks, Ruth! And here’s a frisky one who looks like he’s just jumped out of a bath and is ready to accept your pup’s invitation—suds and all.
Let’s Shake!One might wonder what this wizard has in mind. For those not yet under his spell, you’ll find him lurking in the southwest corner, keeping a watchful eye on you.
Wizard’s WatchThe ice is nice, Ruth— a beautiful photo. Michael, #728 evokes the feeling of a fun surprise. And Hans, I like the sense of determined intention in Approaching.
A Certain SoftnessGreat action in A Scape in B&W, Michael. Almost coming out of the image there!
Below, the wind may have been blowing more than the clouds around…
Moon AtiltRuth, Gregory, Michael, Hans, you’ve all been in the just right place at the just right moment. I would especially like to have been on that beach to check out the message, Hans. Might it have simply read, “Look up!” It’s an extraordinary photo.
In the image below, it looks as if this tree has been tickling the sky.
Cloud GigglesYou’re so right, Ruth. No end to the intrigue when it comes to what’s up there. Below, a waxing crescent might appear to be coming in for a kind landing—or not!
The Moon’s TrampolineMichael, your B&W#725 delivers the same rush as seeing an entire sky-filled murmuration. Oh!!!
Now, for a close-up…
A Tasty Treat For An AxolotlMen In A Canoe is a great, adventurous scene, Ruth. It is surely a fine way to traverse the skies.
Below, it appears a robot has extended its eyes for a close encounter with an alien beauty. A ghostly, horned figure stands by. A chaperone perhaps?
All The Better To See You With, My DearMany thanks to all above for sharing their skies’ bookends to the day. The warmth is felt afar. And Ruth, congratulations on your Gallery cloud today. Another beauty!
Below, one from the archives. No warm hues in this one, but a shimmering reflection on a darkening sea.
Mending socks brings back memories, Ruth! My grandmother tried to teach me how to do it, but I never could get the darn(ing) hang of it. Made more cavums than were there to begin with. Love the wooly look of your photo nonetheless!
What a rich coppery glow you’ve captured in Multiplying Trails, Hans! So beautiful. And thank you for the clarity on count of -2. I had not realized! :) Below is one more from the scene that unfolded.
Walked Right Into ItLots of dramatic postings here from Donatella, Gregory, Hans; and Ruth, your gutsy trilogy was an especially funny series.
Hans, Pointalistic Contrail reminds me of chalk art on sidewalks. Love the sense of rough texture in it. Below is another kind of sketchy line. And further down, a more distant view just a few moments later, showing the end of the line with a trio of nearby companions.
In the NeighborhoodHans, Dust To Dust is actually a cropped view and slight pan to the right of the color photo I posted to the Sunrise/Sunset topic last Dec 9th. No illusion there, other than the one we always take for ‘reality’. ;) I liked the mysterious quality that the strongly contrasted B&W brought out of the arrangement. Glad you enjoyed it too!
Recent contributions by all above are other fine examples of cloud formations highlighted sans couleur. Michael, to my eye, your #722 especially leaps out with the head of one of the most unfathomable gargoyles yet to be seen here. Those serious grey tones serve it well!
Below is another one I think holds more allure in B&W.
