All kinds of cloud beauty in the recent images above, Michael, Allan, and Hans—dramatic, crispy, subtle. Especially love the delicate texture in Slightly Undulating, Hans.
Caught this little message in today’s afternoon sky…
Blue Heart SkymojiGood gooeyness, Hans! Whatever It’s Lurking is made up of, it has a magnetic quality that just begs one to touch—to see just how sticky it might be. And then what?!
Stuck now, I see some resemblance in the distant cloud figure in Michael’s #319. Love the bright fluff of cumulus contrasting the darker clouds against that deep blue.
Below, a different tri-color cloudscape, this one a bit smeared by the wind.
Love the Pillar on the Sea, Daniel! And that wild curve of massive burnt orange cloud is riveting, Gregory. Nice to be followed by the delicate forms captured by Hans, and the soft pink ripples by Steven. All beautiful images that help ease the mind as another day winds down.
Below, one of a series from the archives…
Wow! Gorgeous images above, Hans, Michael, and Gregory.
While I’m used to looking up, the occasion below was a good reminder to look up even further. There was more to be seen here, but a faint sundog (cropped from this image) required too much post-production tweaking to be included here.
Optical DelightsLooks like you were actually in the cloud foam for that shot, Hans! What a fun place to be.
Water DancersA 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!
