Wow, Daniel! Love your vibrant plumbing results. ;)
And Jocelyn, delighted to meet you as well. I couldn’t agree more about the ability of cloud spotting to lift our spirits. The moments of stillness involved in looking up (walking while cloud gazing has proven dangerous in the past!) can be like an emotional reboot. Your Let There be Light and Shadows is a perfect example. Even after the sun’s gone down, unexpected beauty can be found just by gazing in another direction. Thank you for the timely and lovely visual reminder!
Below, another from the archives (if this looks slightly familiar to anyone, an inverted version of it was posted in the B&W topic, Volume VIII). A lot of blues here, supported by a wee bit of underlying warmth. Sometimes that’s all we need.
Love your colorful creatura, Hans, the “pescis” subspecies label is perfect!
And indeed, Don, the sky is a magnet for all cloudy characters. In the image below, I must say someone’s wax wings are looking a bit on the soft side…
Nervous IcarusThose wonder-ful waves sweep me off my feet, Michael, Hans, and Daniel. Sure wish they weren’t so rare around here. Just found this one from a few years back.
What fabulous additions to this sunrise/sunset volume — both in images and new contributors! A warm welcome to Ruth and Jocelyn, who both (along with everyone else here) make me realize I should either get up earlier or stay up later — or both. ;) As it is, I’ve been indoors more than usual, so have gone spelunking through archives for something to share. I suppose this one will do in a pinch…
Beautiful captures, Daniel, Don and Hans! Love that closeup of The Escape, Daniel, and the trippy surrealism of your inverted image, Don. Where could those Hasty Clouds be off to, Hans? Off to give the moon a giggle?
Moon TicklersYour One Note is sweeping in on key and right on time, Hans! While on this side of the pond, the celestial orchestra is not quite ready.
Still Tuning UpIt seems there’s rarely a dull moment up there, Hans! And your clouds in More Unfolding Drama look to be speeding off to join the party. There’s a tiny bird in the one below too. Can you spot it?
Let The Fun Begin!Love the scalloped edge in Flood Line In The Sky, Hans. It tells a story! And Michael, your most recent, also has a feeling of cloudlettes being swept along. Keeping with the flowing theme, this one below could use a river’s soundtrack.
Stream Over StonesNice, Michael! Very painterly.
Looking through an archive of Colorado skies, I came across this one and was amazed at how clearly I recall the very moment of stopping to look up and appreciate the unfolding drama.
It would seem those “thingy” clouds have a propensity for showing up here, Hans! A common subcategory is what I like to call Cumulus creatura. Below, yet another one that could have come from ‘neath the sofa.
And thank you… Okay so far in California, and I hope you are as well in Holland, along with everyone everywhere we hold dear. Cloud-A-Day, CAS’s Gallery, and this Forum with the kind and encouraging exchanges we’ve come to know here, are highlights in each day. Many thanks to all for sharing visions and comments that continue to inspire.
Dust MousieA fine feather for your cap, Don! And a magical murmuration, Michael. Both images lift my spirits.
Below, this one reminds me of dandelion seeds sailing on a Spring breeze just as I reach to weed them.
Spring SailLove that lidded look in Someone Is Watching, Hans, and the cloud curtain it’s peeking through too. Wonderful patterning there, and also in your #805, Michael. Very dynamic.
Like a giant jellyfish in a sea of sky, this swam past without a sound.
Silent SwimmerFantastic texture, Michael! What a capture.
There was a bit of iridescence in the original photo of the image below, but I like the way black and white highlights the cloud’s form without the distraction of color.
Love the vision your #320 inspires, Michael — relaxing in a soft, hammock cloud with the moon above. Your Streakyscape adds to it, Hans, with a sense of swaying motion. Ah, yes, I could just lie there and wait to see what the clouds do next.
