Puzzle aside, Hans, your photo is a beauty. The soft, repeated lines evoke a melody, perhaps a lullaby.
It had been quite a while since I’d seen any iridescence here, but just a couple of days ago, there was this small patch of shimmering color…
So true, Laurence. We would be wholly lost without the influence of our dear moon, not to mention its guiding light through darkest night. As for its sway upon the clouds we hold nearer, it is often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Here we see some proof…
Moon Cloud
Lisa, congratulations on your Cloud Of The Day photo yesterday! The skein of Snow Geese silhouetted by a beautiful pastel-clouded sky is absolutely stunning.
I am reminded of…
Sudden InspirationMichael, I can almost see the clouds in #196 reshaping themselves to come together. Leave it to clouds to know how to compromise without losing their integrity.
In the images below, I inverted the original B&W photo (on the left) and found the W&B version delivering a distinctly different feeling. Again, I thank you for introducing me to the idea of exploring this optional view. The results are sometimes quite a surprise. The semordnilap title seemed somehow appropriate.
Mood/DoomSo amazing, Laurence! Thank you for posting the link along with your reflections of observing the moon in that “wondrous golden hue”. No doubt, such an experience as you’ve described, ‘twould have me howling in delight.
Ruth and Michael, you seem to be sharing the same sky in your latest images. But then, don’t we all? I wonder what transformations this little cloud will undergo as it swims through the Sea of Sky.
Little Fish, Big PondThanks, Ruth, and same compliment to you on that pretty, pastel sunset shot over the river.
Could The State Of Florida be the start of a 50-cloud collection? For awhile now, I’ve been slowly gathering letterforms and symbols. Not quite halfway with the letters and only eight symbols, so still a bit to go.
Meanwhile, how old do you suppose these sky scratches might be?
Ancient EngravingsNice subtle hint of color amidst the various grey tones in #411, Michael. The sense of movement has my eyes sliding side-to-side while the balanced composition holds me calmly in place. Intriguing effect!
Earth, Water, Air is a breathtaking drama in black and white, Hans. I love the way reflected light gives form to the sand before sea.
Awash In The SwashThank you, Ruth, and hope you’re keeping warm there. Your Man In Bucket is a wonderful photo. He may be closer to the clouds than if he were on terra firma, but it could be chilly up there. If only he had a companion and a song to take his mind off the cold while he waits. These trees seem to have the right idea…
DuetLove The Blue Hour (and clever title), Hans. And is that Billy peeking out on the left?
In the photo below, I count 23 crows. There a few ways to break this number down with some of their symbolic associations—not that I’m at all into numerology or even from the numerical (as in math science) end of the campus. That said, we could be looking at 5(a Fibonacci number) x 2(a major change for the better) + 10(a time of joyful bliss +3(a celebration). In conclusion, I would guess your guess is correct, Hans. Spirits soaring!
Counting All the CrowsWow, Michael, what a fabulous photo is your #193! I can almost hear the wind—in both ears!
And Lisa, you’re likely to run into that new word often if you visit the looks-like topic. And what a splendid and welcome Ray of Hope you’ve presented—a light in the darkness, perhaps even in the deepest depth of the sea!
Below, maybe a little moonlight magic?
Jardin au Clair de LuneMichael, your Arizona Cloudscape #410 is hovering! Nice composition there.
Pass The Potatoes looks delicious, Ruth. Of course, I’ve never met a potato I didn’t like. :)
Yesterday, the clouds surprised me with a skyful of beauties. An ode to Autumn’s true arrival? The upper portion of this image looks to hold (or let Fall?) some interesting shapes.
