Wow, Michael, Arizona B&W#129 is otherworldly indeed. It sets my mind awhirl in wonder. Love the feeling of awed bafflement it conjures within, and then Under Sail! I feel completely launched.
And Hans, whatever is Drifting, has me mesmerized. I’d like to jump overboard and see more of this cloud creature, maybe swim alongside for awhile.
Along For The RideIndeed, Hans, I have heard of that group — from you! And for your rather engaging Talking Heads above (and to quote the Canadian singer-songwriter Shirley Eikhard), let’s give them something to talk about…
A Little Mystery To Figure OutHans, I love the soft swooshiness of your screen cleaners a few posts up. Those clouds were really on the move — and quite a contrast to your Gordian Knot!
The serenity in the images that followed (from both you and Michael) looked to me like the untangling of knottiness. And it left me with quite a yearning for Asperitas, which I’ve not seen in months. That is, until yesterday.
In the late afternoon, the sky took on the telltale tint of fires raging in nearby counties. Mostly burning in the wildlands so far, it’s distant enough to not worry for my own safety, but for others, there is edgy concern. I noticed the smoke-filled clouds had some quality of Asperitas. The sun, low in the sky, doused them with the colors of a summer sunset. While I can appreciate the beauty in the image below, it’s none the less unsettling, knowing what brought them into being.
Fireborn AsperitasMichael, I love the subtle play of light and shadow in your Arizona B&W#127, and the haunting, surreal quality of #128 is superb.
A Rush of WingsLove your AZ B&W#126, Michael! The funny thing is, while Hans sees an appetizing, flowery pattern, somehow I see a fantastic portrait of the goat itself. Is it time to visit the eye doctor (or one of a different vocation)?
That question aside, these Asperitas clouds you two have been spotting are easy on the eyes with their gentle appearance. Here, it is not so. This almost landed on my noggin. Who knows what I might have seen then.
AvalancheAll three of your most recent images here are beauties, Hans. And this last one must have set your toes all awiggle. It’s like a dance of joy and wonder reflected in visual form! Looking forward to seeing more from your series.
Thank you for kind words, Hans. I love the way contemplating clouds inspires unusual thinking, mental meanderings outside-the-box ~~ because there is no box!
Wonder-filled image of the boat approaching the Edge-Of-The-World! But what if there are steps leading to another level? What might we find there?
What IfAh yes, at first I only saw cloud upon cloud, but then as you say, Hans, once seen…. Even the smoke filled room couldn’t undo the transformation. I imagine karaoke crowds are pretty tolerant and wouldn’t drag you off stage for terrible singing. Then again, the customer below might have somehow earned the hook!

Long neck beers ~ 2 for 1 ~Smoke Gets In Your EyesA watery feel to your close-up, Hans. And even with eyes closed, one might still detect the subtle shadow of one who leaps across the pond.
Return Of The GoatFantastic images, Laura! Thank you so much for sharing with us. I like the way it feels to be surprised and delighted like this – the unplanned intake of breath with eye widening and the spontaneous smile that lingers. Hope we see more from you on the forums.
I think you must be right, Hans. But can we ever be sure? Or maybe better worded, will we ever get there?
Rowing Forever Across The Dark Sea of UnknowingFascinating and curious separation in your Ragged cloud, Hans. Never seen anything quiet like it. And I like it!
Also like Mystical very much with its lofting silkiness.
And could not agree more with you, Michael, about the sensing of what we see. Love those AZ textures you continue to bring us.
Eyes Touching SkiesWhat a dramatic shot, Hans! Beautiful composition with the bright cloudlettes adding their accents to balance out the focal point of that central radiance. Wow!
