And, indeed, the most welcomed illumination to dawn within a dream, Lisa! Your halo photo is a lovely symbol of its transitional impetus. Just imagine the moment it shines a light on…
Day ResidueMicheal, B&W#176 is compellingly strange (in a good way) like hypnagogic imagery. Where would that dream go from here? I can only imagine! And I see the synapses firing in your next photo.
Now to dream of the sea ~~~
Against The TideSurf’s up for your ghost, Dave, with a spirited wild ride! And Ruth, can I order a pair of cloud boots like the one you posted? They’d have me singing a new tune like Hans’s Cheerful Bird. I suppose I could add them to my Wish List for Santa, but it might be too late to start behaving. For some of us, it’s a challenge! Like the wee dragon below who appears to be getting a fiery parental lecture and…
A Little Time OutCatching up with the potpourri above feels like a nice bit of virtual travel. Speaking of which (and scrolling back a bit), rest assured, Hans, there’s no need to worry about Cthulhu. Rumor has it he’s in a mellow mood now, having just returned from a relaxing little get-away.
Mini VacationWonderful images above! Love Unrest—and all the rest. What next might we see?
Misty Mystical ManifestationsA beautiful blue in your AZ Color#900, Michael. And I like your description of it, Hans, followed by Fluffy And Bulbous, which looks as if it would stay aloft even on the gentlest of breezes.
DriftingsPS: Nice to see the variation of your Winged Horizon on the Gallery this morning, Hans. Congratulations!
Love your redheaded sunbather, Hans, though, to my eye, he looks a bit startled at that approaching shark-shape. And, thanks to your vivid description, I now see two very different maidens at Michael’s Waterfall. Do you see the long-haired blond figure in the upper, left corner, arms below her shoulders obscured lost in shadow? More amusing is your vision which gave me a good giggle. How could I have missed her?!
Here’s someone else having fun in the water…
Doin’ The Dog PaddleIndeed, room for all, Ruth, including your gently hued Giraffe and Hans’s Lizard, who looks to be enjoying a good shower. And speaking of such wonders, who is that mysterious maiden at the waterfall, Michael? Her image appears as if from a dream. How refreshing ‘twould be to stand ‘neath Nature’s cascade. Well, I suppose one can still imagine…
Shower Head~~~ Wow!! Love the recent additions to this fantastic wild ride that Michael and Hans keep rolling. Beautiful drama captured, Dave, (positively enhanced by the B&W/Sepia tones), and a mesmerizing video, Frank.
As Michael notes, witnessing Asperitas events brings a special feeling (like an “E-Ticket Ride” at Disneyland back in the ’50s!). I must add that even just seeing them online here brings delight to the day. So many thanks to all contributors above for sharing.
Ah, Ruth, that is a lovely Light! And the coolness of the scene is so welcomed at this moment. Thank you, too, for well wishes. Still outside the evacuation zone here, but air and ash are a potent reminder of what’s too close for comfort. Feeling deeply for those who are nearer to the flames and must be overwhelmed with familiar anxieties.
Another cool comfort is your Wavy Vagueness, Hans—and your fun reply. What?! You say there are also imaginary numbers?! Something like that afterimage cloud I ‘saw’ recently? The idea alone creates a strange sensation in my noggin, like a subtle pressure system building, causing the cloud of a wild thought to form. It just goes to show the mind is as unbound as the sky, creating combinations that baffle and bewilder, illuminate and inspire. And yes, the Escher ants! I believe I’ve seen their loopiness in real life. And oh, the memory (half a century ago!) of möbius notes passed surreptitiously in high school (…they kissed and then…). The repeated curls of Kelvin-Helmholtz come to mind, although, and alas, they fade in no time.
Meanwhile, there is this alway room (and time) for more…
Floating InspirationsA lovely Pastel Painting, Hans. I like the soft feel of it and can enjoy a calm breath just gazing at it. And a wonderful capture, Michael! That one makes me want to hold my breath as if swimming beneath an ice floe. A cool adventure.
For Hans: As for an “affinity…with infinity” ;) … It mist be the allure of the ineffable that holds the appeal for this girl from the north campus. Well, I meant to write must, but there you have it. It’s all in the mist! And what happens in Vagueness might well stay in Vagueness were it not for the clarity and precision of mathematics. Recently, I had to smile (surely a curve of measurable measure?) when a friend mentioned irrational numbers. Just thinking about such concepts as infinity and non-duality, even the magic of the möbius strip (where does one start when there is no end?) tickles my mind with wonder. Mathematics may be a different language, one that I cannot speak or understand, but it holds a beauty all its own. Not unlike an appreciation for clouds. While I don’t know or understand all the science of their making, they tickle my eyes and spirit nonetheless. Likely just another part of the dreamer within.
On Its Way To Becoming A Möbius Cloud StripThe lines in your Arizona B&W#172 tell a peaceful story, Michael. But oh, days of 116f there must be a harsh reality! Hope the hurly burly come your way soon. Looks like we may have more of it today. Here’s another look at yesterday morning.
Summer StormLoved Another Veil Variation, Hans, which appears to be floating on a gentle, wafting breeze, while Arizona B&W#170 and #171 are absolute celebrations, Michael, with sound tracks all their own. Trees Bright Shadow is one to linger on, Lisa, cleverly titled as well.
Completely unexpected weather here with thunder, a bit of rain and this morning’s surprise…
Marbled MarvelRuth, Michael, Hans, Gregory, Don, what a joy to see so many beautiful rays and shadows, a bit of moon, and fruit flavored skies spanning the color spectrum from all of you. Especially love the trick of light on wavelike clouds captured in A Bit Deceiving, Hans.
Anyone for another helping of dessert?
