Wow, 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.
Asperitas Over San Francisco BayBeautiful beginnings (and clever titles!) above make a splendid launch for Cloudscapes Volume II!
WhispersThat is one wild wizard there, Hans! And now my mind wonders what mischief he might bring about. And would it require incantation or a simple wave of the wand?
Thank you, Michael, for a beautiful launch into yet another volume of visual delights!
And Hans, need you ask? Yes! Worth it by a long (albeit costly) shot. Perhaps we should have a fund for dedicated cloud spotters who end up paying fines for their fun. I would definitely contribute.
As for strolling back in time, the image below reminded me of the sleeping man I shared back in January of this year (Volume VIII). Although this photo was taken only recently, there’s a similarity in pose but with the look of just beginning to wake, one eye opening, and perhaps the remains of a dream about clouds drifting across his forehead. Will he remember it?
AwakeningOh my, Hans, this image is absolutely extraordinary! Fortunately, that par(heal?)ic arc is just what Paradise Bird will need to survive. Oh yes, I see it is happening already.
Regenerating Tail FeathersWhat a dramatic shot, Hans! And look out, Paradise Bird — contrail splitting is risky business! But whatever happens, I believe quick regeneration is possible for such a fine feathered ethereal creature.
Paradise Lost?
(But only its tail feathers. Well, maybe a bit more, but I’m sure it will all grow back in no time.)
