We benefit from your going back to retrieve your camera, Hans! A curious detail you’ve captured there. It sets the mind to wonder. And who knows what this trio of cloudlettes below might be up to.
Mischief MakersPS: And speaking of mischief… Michael, your formidable eyes on AZ skies and wit are missed! Hoping you’re able to find a solution to the posting glitch soon.
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen any Asperitas here and look forward to more of your images, Hans. They do create the most amazing formations. As for freedom on the wing, it appears to come in many sizes.
Thank you, Hans. And wow! I love the subtly in Delicate Appearance. And Undulating Iridescence is pure joy to behold. Both images are highly appealing while tapping different emotions.
In the photo below, clouds were on the move, a blossoming tree danced in the breeze, and a halo came and went without a whisper.
I’d love to travel that highway, Hans, and bump into those bumpy clouds above. Couldn’t hurt!
Below looks as if the sky used a watercolor brush.
Watercolor SessionHans, I keep going back to your Mainstream? image. Caught in the current, you might say. And then Mainstream #2 comes along and sweeps me away too. Both are astonishing beauties!
RippleVery clever title, Hans! Can’t believe I just caught the connection. Had to think, think, think back!
What a surreal skyscape you’ve captured in Dutch B&W, Hans. Fantastic in the illusion it creates. I should like very much to go there and explore.
Breaking ThroughThank you for your kind words, Hans.
At Sunset absolutely shimmers! Its as if the sky were a smooth coppery surface with the dramatic lines of the contrail etched into them. Love this image! I must say this thread has truly brought those linear, sometime squiggly, sometimes cryptic lines in the sky to life for me. Now my eye catches on the tiniest of them, especially when they streak by like a delicate meteor above more formidable formations of cloud.
And here’s a funny side note I shared with Gavin about that halo on the gallery: Just as I was taking the photo, a fellow getting out of his car next to me asked, “What is it you’re seeing?” I’d only begun to explain when he smiled widely and said, “Ah! So that’s what the fellow on the radio was just talking about with the ice crystals and, and, and… cloud appreciation!” He’d just been listening to a repeated broadcast of Gavin’s interview with Michael Krasny. How auspicious for a halo to be present at that very moment!
I’m not quite sure, Hans. It may have just been a bit of iridescence? As for antennae, sometimes I think the strange situations find me! And what’s not to welcome? Often when I ask myself, “How odd is that?” it turns out I’m not actually in this dream we call waking reality and become aware of the possibilities that lucidity offers to the cognizant dreamer (like Levitation!). And if it turns out I’m not dreaming, the wonders of the waking world are no less intriguing (although the possibilities are somewhat more limited).
The Shape Of Things To ComeNo Doubt you were in a magical place, Hans. I love how the colors intensify as each moment passes at day’s end. In your image above, I especially like how the tree on the right appears to be painting in a bit of its own dark hue to the approaching night scene.
Here, again, simple pastels bring a soft ending to the day.
Indeed! That was one lucky ducky thanks to your intervention, Hans, and the impressive U-turn above. Glad to see our little friend didn’t get gobbled up. After all, you know what they say…
You Are What You EatPS: This has to be one of the strangest cloud photos in my entire collection. You just never know what you’ll see when you look up!
