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…

possibility?It also brings lyrics by Leonard Cohen to mind…

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.
Great contrast with crisp detail against the backdrop of that massive, nearly featureless cloud – a spectacular shot, Micheal!
In the image below, I quite liked the delicate, frayed edges of cloud that lay across a large section of that afternoon’s sky.
Michael and Hans, the latest images from you on this thread are such a delight to see — over and over again. Lost Cloud In Reds and Sunset #425 are favorites and beautiful beyond words. That said, I do wish there were words for the sweet swell of emotions they evoke. Thank you for posting these celestial bookends to your days across the pond and across state lines.
A dramatic scene you’ve captured there, Hongmeiyuan! It looks as if your feet at the time may have been right up there with those splendid clouds. A warm welcome to the forum and hope to see more images from you in days to come.
Below, the sky had a rather dusty look that day, but I don’t suppose we should call these “Linticularis”.
Very interesting, Michael! I’ll keep my eyes on the skies and see if I spot any purple sunsets. And now I wonder, do you think there might also be a color difference in sunrises as well?
