Named or unnamed, your images above are wondrous, Hans and Michael.

Hans, I cannot unsee what I saw immediately in My Attempt Today. Love it! Looks like it could have emerged right out of Micheal’s magical, mystical landscape in Arizona B&W#134. There are worlds of what? and whatnot up there!

Michael, your Arizona Cloudscape#77 is indeed an extraordinary shot. That greenflash is riveting. Hope to see it also on the Gallery and/or 2019 calendar. It is nicely sandwiched between Hans’s beauties too. All quite stunning additions to the ‘scapes topic.

As I recall, my feet were solidly on the ground when I took the image below. Yet when I cropped it later, I had to wonder.

Gazing Into A Pond Of Sky

Michael, George, and Hans: the B&W topic is what first drew me in to CAS’s forums and it’s never lost a bit of its appeal, thanks to the likes of images you’ve all shared above. I would never have imagined the vast variety of form and composition, feeling and mood, that consistently appears here.

The image below is from a couple of days ago when most of the sky featured little nubbins of cloud with this singular exception.

Those wisps are lovely with or without color, Hans — like a smooth, wavy rhapsody.

Thank you, Hans. I have always felt a tingle of joy seeing such wonders posted by others on the forum. Now, having caught a parhelic circle above my own noggin here, the tingle goes all the way down to my toes.

And George, thank you as well. Your sundog with parhelic tale really captures that joyous feeling better than any words can describe.

Rippled Foam is just as tasty, Hans!

I found the somewhat foamy image below tucked away in archives today. As I recall, it was the lennies in the far distance that caught my eye. It had been ages since I’d seen any lenticularis, and spotting just a couple brought a big grin. The layering of clouds in the foreground reminds me of coastal fog, which also makes me smile — especially since I don’t live nearly near enough to the sea.

George, the CHA you shared with us a couple of posts above is gorgeous! A well-deserved reward for keeping keen eyes on the skies.

And love those iridescent waves of wonder, Hans! So glad you dove into the archives for it.

The image below is from archives here as well. I wasn’t sure what to do with it initially, but now that we have a topic for halos and such…. If it fits the description of a Parhaelic Cirle, then it is my first sighting of one (!) and it brings a question about those little rays shooting off the outer edge of it. Anyone have an explanation for this?

Circle Dance Of The Fairies?

These distant and close-up shots are intriguing, Hans, and in B&W, something is added to the mystery of those bits of Virga. They seem, almost organically, aiming to wrap themselves around something more solid than cloud matter.

Spotted what was left of this one yesterday…

Very funny, Hans! And joining the festivities of the day…

Pelican With A Plume

[Patricia L Keelin]

Michael, your stunning image featured on the Gallery today (pileus and velum mix )is extraordinary – and visually delicious. Yum!

[Patricia L Keelin]

Now there’s a dazzling dream I’d love to have again and again. Also caught your CHA on the Gallery today, Hans. What a beauty!

[Patricia L Keelin]

Thank you, Hans! I’m  hoping we will see more images from your Mainstream series. They have a such a visually calming effect. And that flying ear-like form! What might it be hearing?

Some Kind Of Symphony

[Patricia L Keelin]

Fun fluffs floating above, Michael and Hans. And I love the way Arizona B&W#132 has the perfect balance to prompt flips in visual perception with its positive/negative shapes. Below, two textures to feel with your eyes.

Fur & Fluff

Beautiful diversity of color and mood in the shots above! Hope to see more from everyone, especially as I’m rarely outdoors at this time of evening. That said, a recent exception rewarded me with this surprise…

Sunset Serenade

[Patricia L Keelin]

Thank you, Michael, for “poetry” above. And what dynamic images of AZ in the wild season of monsoon you followed with — in all directions, no less!

And Hans, your beach umbrella simply defies the static nature of photography. I have the feeling it will drift right off my screen here.

Below, these clouds could not decide in which direction to go. The layering in this case reminded me of a very busy night of dreaming followed by wondering about the many directions in which my mind had travelled.
