Splendid shadow play in AZ #608, Michael.
And Hans, that is some delicious looking broccoli you’ve served up. Fit for a king and his loyal knights. Those song lyrics have a way of lingering. Today, I looked up to find, torn and tossed to the winds…
Letters I’ve Written, Never Meaning To SendFabulous images, Michael and Hans! Catching up just now with this color topic is a feast for the eyes. Arizona Color #606 is mesmerizing, Michael. And Contrasting Structures is like a moment of surprise not to be missed, Hans.
The image below was taken on a very stormy day. I could barely detect what I thought might be interesting swirls in the clouds. In order to see what was really happening up there, I gave the image strong contrast, which delivers the impression of a rough textured watercolor. Rough weather, water, color… somehow, for me, the resulting image captures the dark moodiness of the sky that afternoon.
Moody BluesLaurence, thank you for sharing this link to the article about Lisa Wood. Her photography is as moving as her story. Both cannot help but make one take a moment to appreciate the fragile beauty of each moment.
Beautiful photos, George! I especially like the one with the misty clouds — very mysterious.
And Laurence, thanks for links to other remarkable photos. We were completely overcast here, so it’s a treat to see what others witnessed elsewhere.
Thank you for sharing celestial visions, Robert! I’ve always felt that Cirrus clouds have a way of lifting ones spirits. ;)
I’ve heard a rumor here in Napa that Goddess Diana was recently seen in the Valley of the Moon (as neighboring Sonoma is often called). She thought she might have left something behind and is now, of course, on the hunt, shall we say.
Has anyone seen my quiver?PS: The cloud photo above is just as I saw it — really quite odd with nothing else like it anywhere else in the sky.
Thanks, Hans, and truth be told, Unheated Hatter is rotated 90˚ from original orientation — enough to make one’s own hat fall off, I dare say.
Danke je, Hans. Apparently, Wind has unlimited options for tossing, tumbling, and toying with Cloud. Sliced, diced, grated, it’s all fair game up there. Love the color and motion in your Shredded serving above.
MincedHow wildly lucky, Hans, to have had a sighting of nacreous clouds! I do not believe it will be your last. And thank you for the link to atopics explanation of these fabulous formations. Indeed, your lovely image above seems to match the description of type 1 PSC. Did that make your toes wiggle?
I do wish I could see further north to catch sight of nacreous, but for now, a little webworker has me stuck in place.
Halo WeaverTo look up and see whatever the sky has to offer is one gift. To scroll through the CAS forums is quite another offering with visions beyond one’s own horizon. So grateful to all for sharing here.
Never Really AloneCould it be The Mask gave him a fright? Why whatever is the matter, my dear Mad Hatter?
Unhatted HatterNo doubt about the elephant — a fantastic image, Michael! It’s a bit mesmerizing, and I was happy to see it did not take on a pinkish hue after staring at it for quite some time. #205 also sets the mind to seeing things without the aid of alcohol or advanced pareidolia. Another fine shot.
Having set my mind to wander, I mis-read the title of Hans’s following image as Wired Circus (honestly, no imbibing was involved!). I like the wild vertical dance of clouds you captured there, Hans, while Centrifugal gives the feeling of a look out the back window at warp speed. I wonder where we’re headed next…
