Your Standing Ovation is perfectly amazing, Hans! Did you have this one waiting in the wings?! If I were a writer of children’s books, I imagine there’d be plenty of inspiration for stories in the skies, and plenty of cloud images to illustrate the narratives.
There’s no particular story to the photo below, but what I recall is how the softness of these clouds brought me several moments of simple calmness and joy. In a way, i suppose they sort of wrote their own story about how to take a moment and just breathe.
Just Taking A MomentLove those Soft Sheets of Sky, Hans. They could easily inspire splendid daydreams. To dance upon a cloud is just one that comes to mind.
PirouetteI agree with Hans’s suggested title, Michael. You’ve capture a certain gracefulness in your image #146. And Fallen is well-titled also, Hans. The lacunosus even gives it a sense of time having passed since the event.
In the image below, it seems there’s still time to bring a sense of closure.
Cirrocumulus CorsetMichael, I keep coming back to your Arizona Color #101. It’s like a visual lullaby that I don’t want to end.
And Hans, there you go again with perfect timing and your keen eye, bringing us iridescence so often missed, capturing magic in the sky.
Just Floating ByStrange, but beautiful! And as soon as the adventure of dreaming begins, countless possibilities unfold.
Night PassageHans, both of your images above are fantastic shots. W0w! + Wow! The warm softness of the cloud shape in Fiery Lining is unbelievable. What a joy it must have been to capture these moments.
Your Flock of Virga has a wonderful sense of motion, Hans, as if a great migration were taking place, while Lenticularscape conveys a different kind of urgency. Both are splendid images.
Below, I don’t think there was room for one more bit of cloud the sky that day.
Cloud CrowdWow, Hans, what a gorgeous image! And, indeed, George, this could be spelling something out. If I squint really hard, I think I can read it: Hoi, Mr. Stocker, leuk je weer te zien!
There is great beauty in the calmness you’ve captured in your image, Hans. It’s almost as if undulatus is being reflected in nearly still water that ripples gently in the opposite direction. And yet, we know it all took place in the sky above.
Quite a contrast to what the image below suggests. Another plunge into the deep by who, what, when, where?
Thank you for launching this great topic, Michael! It’s off to a splendid start already and should draw many contributors who enjoy the rollercoaster rides of Asperitas. Wouldn’t be surprised if this calls for dramamine!
And Hans, the images you’ve posted so far have much of the feeling I associate with Asperitas, so regardless of whether or not they meet classification parameters, they are exciting to see here.
I haven’t see many instances of Asperitas locally, so hope a repost of one of my favorites is acceptable here. You and Hans might recognize a portion of it as The Mermaid’s Tresses from one of the B&W volumes.
