Delighted to know you enjoyed the whimsical Wind tale, Hans. And who knows what may follow in the tailwind? Always room for Dragons, of course!
Below, a trio of myth-tical creatures, two of whom made their first appearance in the B&W thread awhile back. They may each have a story to tell, especially that last one. And no doubt your impressive fellow above would be most welcome to join in their fiery fun.
Fantastic sprites, Laurence! The image made my eyes open wide in utter astonishment. Thank you for posting the link.
ooh, horizontal, vertical, a blend of both… all very nice compositions.
Served With The Tiniest Sliver Of MoonAs usual, Hans, your title Don’t You Dare… had me grinning in anticipation before I found the image on the forum. Very funny! As for your sleek jet above, I think I’ve taken a ride on it into the world of story-inspiring cloud scenes. At least to my eye, the image below seemed to tell this one…
A creature with the head of a small ram is having a Very Big Hair Day. A petite cloud girl has stopped by to ask: Who does your magnificent do? Feeling complimented, he thanks her warmly and admits: I see my stylist friend every day or so.
Then he begins to show her a copy of DONE WITH THE WIND written by that very friend, who turns out to be none other than the famous cloud coiffurist Aeolus! She is impressed and considers making an appointment with him.
But in the next moment, just as the book is cracked open, a very strong breeze flies out. Her own hair takes on a whole new look. Fortunately, there is a sock puppet on the end of his outstretched arm ready to catch her should she be totally blown away.
Beautiful expressiveness in recent posts, you two. And is that the sun in Not Sunny, Hans, or did you capture the moon in that moody shot?
HiccccupThanks to all for this fascinating topic, beautiful photos and great links. Hans, in your middle image above, you’ve really captured the loveliest transition from peachy orange to deep purple. WOW!
It appeared this cloud would sail quietly by, yet it dropped anchor in my noggin and whispered a haiku that has me still wondering…

So much to see sweeping playfully across this morning’s sky. Looking closely, there’s a tiny bit of moon still holding its own in the lower part of the upper left quadrant.
Thanks for the link to that dramatic shot, Hygee. Checked out Palmer’s website. His storm photos are truly stunning, and his night skies almost other-worldly.
