Michael, your Arizona Contrail #50 is a gem. Love the almost audible vibrations emanating from that gentle squeeze.
And Hans, Straight And Narrow it is! And with subtle shadow adding a fine dimensional effect. I like this one very much. Below is one that is perfectly horizontal only if one’s noggin is atilt.
Mostly Straight Definitely NarrowMichael, your “needle” cloud is most intriguing. Both shots are dramatically beautiful. They gave me a little nudge of deja vu too, as just yesterday, I noticed a similar shape in the late afternoon sky. I suspect, in this instance, it might be a thin roll cloud as we (finally!) had some rain today. This was a far distant shot with the cloud lying just above the horizon.
Thank you, Hygee, for the link to this interesting collection. Definitely worth a stroll through the images and video clips there.
Ah! What a relief, Hans, to see a much happier fate than what I had imagined could befall your Chicken Abductee (an astonishing image, btw!). Perhaps with a bit of well-placed wizardry, there is still hope for the wanderer below…
No Place To Hang My HatThe veil-like quality in the left portion of your #172 keeps drawing my eye with its subtle intrigue, Michael. I keep wanting to see what’s just beyond it. Very nice!
And love the movement in your Let’s Morph, Hans. Here is one that looks a bit unsure of what will become of it.
Que Será, SeráYour Go With The Flow has an underwater feel to it, Hans. I like to imagine being there and exploring those vague fishy figures.
In the image below, strong contrast brought out a subtle texture in the higher clouds. Once seen, I couldn’t resist the mood created with these deep tones.
When The Heart Is Blue It Can Be A Bumpy RideFlipping over your Flipped Sundog here, Hans. What a delicate beauty. Also, a long overdue compliment to you on your image featured in the Gallery last month (August 10th) – a stunning photo that included a parhelic circle, a segment of 22˚ halo, 120˚ parhelion plus contrails over Haarlem. I’m still looking for the socks that extraordinary shot knocked off. Wow!
Wow, Hans, what a vibrant introduction to Contrails Volume IV! And Michael, your wrap-up to Volume III was absolutely amazing with a clever cloudy Crow appearing to contemplate Vortex Instability. What playful influence will the winds have this time?
Into The Great UnknownWonderful composition and lighting in Arizona B&W#171, Michael. My eye is particularly drawn to the belly of the cloud form with its sense of movement. Well captured!
As for typos, no apology needed — I’m in the same boat! Truth is, I often enjoy the side-trips of mis-reading and mis-hearing. Anecdotes of this nature can be quite amusing. My sis once mis-read the word “decapitalization” as “decapitation”. When she caught the error, her first thought was: Oh, where is my head! There’s some parallel here with cloud observations as they morph before our very eyes inspiring us to read and read again just to see what may come to light anew.
Could You Repeat That?Thank you, Hans! Quite a sweet surprise that was. And what a lovely landscape of Lennies you’ve served us here. Delicious!
Caught this one swimming by~~~
Little Fish, Big PondThank you Hans and Michael for kind replies. Love those twins above separated by the pond! The similarity is quite amazing, both lovely to contemplate. And thanks for a second helping of Holmboe, Hans. The rounded shape in your image there has something of a twin here too.
Single ScoopAh! Michael, I’ve just learned the term you mentioned above has another “t” in it! Be that as it may, the search for “intorus” turned up a rather magical kinetic, slinky-type toy. Both the clouds and the “flippyflux” have a lot of movement, so I didn’t question it one bit. That is, until Hans kindly pointed out (in the Colour thread) that one of the images from this particular series of Cirrus was posted on the Gallery. (Somehow I’d missed it. For unknown reasons, the first click on the Gallery link doesn’t always show the latest postings for me.) I was delighted to see it included there with the classification you’d noted. So thank you both! And here is one last image from that wild, wondrous day.
