Indeed, Hans, I’m doing the rain dance in hopes of dancing in the rain — which is happily predicted for this weekend. Now, if it would just be cold enough…. I’m inspired by the beautiful, cool blues in your image above and in Michael’s most recent images to dream of the fun provided by Winter wonderlands. That said, it would not be the first time I have skated across a frozen pond while my head lies warmly on the pillow.
Frozen FollyThat is quite a formidable image, Hans. I very much like its dynamic composition. It also serves as a reminder that I’ve been wanting to acknowledge your inclusion in the CAS 2019 Calendar ~~ Congratulations! Prost!
As for our crow friend, perhaps we will see him alight again on our Optical Phenomena topic. Meanwhile, I suppose we can offer a big wave and wish him favorable winds.
A true sense of levitation in Soft But No Streaks, Hans. Love the floating feeling it inspires!
Meanwhile below, tree limbs, unashamed of their autumn bareness, rise in celebration of the endless loops of life. Shall we call this one Cirrus Intortus Lemniscatus?
Beautiful vibrations of colors and textures captured in your AZ Sunset #97, Michael. And a warm beckoning brightness in your image above, Hans.
Can you believe it’s time to put Volume III to bed already? Here’s the lullaby I caught out the window a couple of days ago while climbing a stairway at the gym. Can’t wait for the next sunrise.
Second Floor SunsetWOW!!, Hans! That is one spectacular contrail turned bridal veil. What a fantastic transformation.
And I couldn’t agree more about the CAS forum. The opportunity to share images and ideas here is such a gift (Thank you, Gavin!). It continues to amaze, amuse, inspire and delight on a daily basis. My gratitude to all here is bigger than the sky.
All beauties above, Hans and George! Especially love those iridescence images, Hans, with a hint of ocean in both of them. Mesmerizing!
And George, the branches of the tree add a joyful feeling to your halo image, as if it’s reaching up in celebration. Which is what I do when I see such wonders — even when it’s just on the tip of a passing cloud wing.
Wingtip SundogDanke je, Hans! And speaking of mysteries…
Michael, you teased us cleverly with Arizona B&W#197. My brow also furrowed for a moment, but once paredolia glasses were donned, Cloudette Colbert stepped out of the shadows with a starlet look upwards as if to say: Is my bouffant in place?
And in your image above, Hans, the look of softness and sense of motion reminds me of pulling on a favorite warm sweater before stepping out into the autumn chill. Just in time to go Outwards and…
Give The Duster A Good ShakeB&W never fails to deliver surprises here. Love the above, Michael and Hans!
The Subtle Shades Of MysteryLove your Waves In Waves, Hans, great color and composition caught in a single moment of motion.
Below, the question is: Are we looking up or down?
A View From The Crow’s NestThank you, George. And congratulations on your Cloud of the Month cumulus! It’s a beauty and a splendid reminder of where one can find calm and bright when the holidazzle daze overwhelms.
Too Much Of A Good ThingDelicious, Michael! And the perfect image to enjoy while the weather does what it will.
A View From The Dry SideThank you, Hans. And I think you’ve captured his very big brother “having a bad-hair-day in Charigny, France”, as featured today on CAS’s Gallery. Magnificent!
Your “Floating” above has quite the opposite feeling, like a gentle tickling wind. While below, one can read another expression of tenderness by Aeolus (Greek), Sidhe (Old Irish), Dogoda (Slavic), Oonawieh Unggi (Cherokee), etc. By any name, the god of winds has many moods.
Soft StreakingLooks like you’re in (or on) for a smooth ride, Hans! Can’t wait to see what you’ll see next. Meanwhile, I’ll be traveling via Dreamland Express. Funny how, since joining the CAS, I’ve become more aware of skyscapes in that other wondrous world as well.
Just Need To Fluff Up My Cloud PillowBeauty is still there to be seen in the decaying of clouds, Hans, and you’ve captured it well. In the image below, wind is dealing a different blow…
