Realizing (with some astonishment) that this will be post #100 to B&W Volume X, I enjoyed a stroll through the wild mix of the 99 images above. Wow, what a collection! Already eager to see what Vol XI may bring. Surely there will be plenty to keep us connecting.
I’ve Grown So AttachedWhatever the proper classification may be, George, there’s something fun in the form taken by the clouds you’ve captured there.
And Hans, Long After The Sea Stayed Restless would be the perfect title for a mystery novel with that image on the cover. Did something (or someone!) go overboard? Perhaps only those with a bird’s eye view could say.
Winged WitnessesThose Strange Crossings create a wonderful illusion, Hans — like a magic act that defies the laws of Nature. I’m watching closely, expecting some part of it to shift if I dare blink. At some point, I must expect the inevitable.
A Small Break In ConcentrationHans, your Well-tempered Cirrus is music to my eyes. As are the well-defined layers of Asperitas above. Michael, I can almost taste the triple layered dessert you served us in Arizona Colour#100. Yum!
Cirrus BouquetHans, do you think your formidable Sphinx might feel a bit of envy, having to rely on cloud support to move about the heavens? Perhaps he is singing that heartfelt song by the beloved bard Leonard Cohen.
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be freeYour Paradise Bird looks as if he could go the distance, while the one below might need to rest her wings for a beat or two.
Bird On The WireNamed 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!
WhatnotMichael, 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 SkyMichael, 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.
Linear AttractionThank 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.
Offshore LenniesGeorge, 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?
