Hans: Your question, “Are you in math Keelin?” gave me a good giggle as I come from the other end of the campus! The “Tilde” title was simply inspired by the cloud’s wave. That’s not to say I don’t deeply appreciate the exquisite beauty/poetry of math, because I do indeed, even if it’s a language I don’t speak. There’s a short story here: Years ago, during a lucid dream, I seemed to be hovering in the deep, dark void of outer space, beyond all clouds, beyond all solar systems, with no edge or end to the Sky. And with no image of a dream body, just a sense of pure awareness. Taking advantage of that auspicious moment, I asked, “May I know the meaning of the universe?” In response, a pinpoint of light in the far distance appeared and began to shimmer and morph, and as it unfolded, what emerged was the most breathtaking mathematical calculation I could ever possibly have imagined. The formula grew in astonishing complexity, incorporating biological molecular models along the way, until it filled all space and literally went beyond me. No drugs were involved in this dreamtime adventure and the memory of it has remained vivid for decades. And now I must ask: Are you in math Hans? Your explanation of Tilde made my head swim — in a good way!
Michael, those blues are worth rising early for — gorgeous!
And Hans, I love the subtle shades and floaty feeling you’ve captured in Holmboe Was Here. Can you sent some Holmboe across the pond?
The Element Of SurpriseHans, glad to see you back to black (and white), as well as other forum topics, treating us to splendid new visions.
Different LayersWho knows how far these drifters will go, Roger? Spotted a few here in Napa just a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, they were quite far in the distance, so the shot’s a bit fuzzy. Still, fun to see.
Great sense of dimensional layering in #83, Michael. Love the variety of clouds forms as well. And thanks for your kind compliment. I wasn’t familiar with “Intorus”, so had to go agoogling. Cool! The clouds I caught just yesterday seem to have a bit of that magical, slinky flow.
Thanks, Michael. And what an amazing moon shot you’ve captured! Love the impressionistic quality, not to mention the shadow effect.
Found this in the garden of my dreams…
Night BloomIn this instance, the original cloud photo was cropped, converted to B&W, then color inverted. Aside from the narrative the resulting image inspired, I like the wet pavement look of it.
Frisky Puppies Never Failed To Startle HerWonderful compositions, Michael. Arizona B&W#167 is especially outstanding.
Indeed, clouds have a magical ability to disappear right before your eyes. That said, we were treated two days ago to an entire morning of the wildest cirrus across the entire sky. What a show! Next day, nothing but blue as far as the eye could see.
