Hans, your Glimpse is deliciously mysterious. Although I’ve not seen horseshoe on a California menu, I wouldn’t be surprised to find a single green bean plated at some overly fancy restaurants. And yes, let us continue with this feast of B&W images. I doubt we shall ever be sated. Here’s a dash of this and a pinch of that to toss in.

An Old Family Recipe

A warm welcome to you, Ying! That is a remarkable scene you’re captured. I can’t imagine that ominous cloud be any closer to the ground. Did you manage to stay dry?

And a warm welcome back to you, Gregory! So nice to have you posting here again and to the other topics as well. Grey Swirls is a lovely reintroduction to your photographic eye.

Nice minimalist approach in your #701, Michael. In a funny way, it reminds me California Cuisine. Love the cloud cube in #702 and the whole structure of that image. It is a favorite.

Final Flinging

Michael, that’s a gorgeous photo. You have really mastered the eye of the art.

Your Deer On The Move fits well with the season, Ruth. Below, a winged traveler stops by a favorite watering hole along the flock’s migration route.

A fine collection of color and clouds above! Love the blue-greys in your #920, Michael, and the impression of clouds resting like a blanket in Moody Blues, Ruth.

To answer your question, Hans: yes, I did know about 23 being a prime number, but about Fibonacci? Not so much! The internet is full of such wondrous enlightenments. Your Fluffy And Blue would make a nice dream pillow. Below, perhaps a not-so-distant relative?

Cloud Cousin

Speaking of cloud safaris, Ruth, I suppose that would be one way to still see some creatures like this favorite. Gone, but never forgotten…

The Dodo of Mauritius

Let The Light Shine On indeed, Hans, and thank you for the perfect transition and launch of Volume XVII! Let’s all give it a whirl.

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 Inspiration

[Patricia L Keelin]

Michael, 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/Doom

[Patricia L Keelin]

So 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.

[Patricia L Keelin]

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 Pond

[Patricia L Keelin]

Thanks, 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 Engravings

[Patricia L Keelin]

Nice 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.
