A warm welcome to the Forum, Daniel! And what a beautiful first post. I look forward to seeing more of your images from that wild northern coast.
Hans, you’ve served up a rich raspberry sorbet (yummm). And Michael, your image above brings the memory of a last bite of sweet peach (yummm again). Anyone for more dessert?
Palm FlambéA magnificent, double-layered dessert in your last photo, Michael. Love those dark, bird-like flickers adding impressions of a scale not to be trusted. As Hans notes, that cloud is HUGE!
While I can’t explain why (and no reason really necessary), the curl in A Detail In The Spotlights makes me smile, Hans. Die krul is een beetje vreugde.
Speckled FeatherAnother View On The North Sea works so well in B&W, Hans. I liked the surprise when my eyes dipped down to find that shimmering strip along the lower edge indicating scale.
In the photo below, the clouds float free, so they can be any dimension you’d like. Funny when you think about it, how the mind can hold an entire headful of clouds, any size, any shape. They all fit!
As for the new Cloudspotter Groups, it looks like they’re taking off with a nice flourish! If only I had more time to devote. Alas, it’s all I can handle at the moment to keep up with our favorite Forum topics. But as you say, Hans, it may introduce more folks to these themed threads, so here’s hoping!
No Dimension KnownFrom powerful drama to graceful allure in your Arizona B&Ws, Michael. And Hans, I envy your strolls by the North Sea. That thin line of sunlit sea on the horizon in Light Sculpture is exquisite. And congratulations on your stunning photo featured on the Gallery (February 26). Wow!
Wink!Marvelous otherworldliness in Revisited, Hans!
Not sure what to think of the image below. It keeps turning into something hungry-looking.
Not exactly sure about that gluttonous creature, Hans. Looked a bit like a sleek dolphin (sans definitive dorsal fin) before he swallow the moon and was then swept away by a wave of wind.
A much nicer scenario can be imagined about your Happy Bear. Is this him (below) taking a closer look at something? I do wonder what he’s found.
Good to keep that steady, clear-eyed vigilance, Hans! For indeed, what is in pursuit might very well be below, and that tiny bite just ahead won’t prove very filling.
A Little Taste of MoonLove the champagne celebratory feel of #739, Michael, while the composition and subtle colors of #740 continue to tease my sense of pareidolia. Some dreamlike creature keeps trying to emerge. I quite like the mystery of it.
And the boldness of those Large Cloudy Brush Strokes is inspiring, Hans. I feel as if I can almost hear them.
Below, the mood is more on the quiet side I think.
Repeated MurmuringsFantastic cloud sculpture, Michael! At first glance, the image reminded me of dramatic works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Then pareidolia took over and now I see a little bear being held gently aloft in a large paw. I like both impressions very much.
Further venturing on this tour, I came across a couple of architectural wonders.
Greek Corinthian ColumnsOh, but the beauty of it, Hans! Love your Wind And Rain And Shine’s full spectrum of dark to light with just a hint of color. I would still dip my toes in the sea there just to have the added sensation turn it into a memory-making liminal moment. Even though they would surly be curly with the cold.
CurledMichael, you continue to polish the grays to a gorgeous gleam. #188 is particularly impressive. And I must admit to a little giggle when pareidolia took hold and something (I shall not say what) emerged. I keep going back to it because each time I look, I feel greeted with a little smile.
Here is an undecided one from a decidedly busy sky day earlier this month.
