    and a few days earlier, while in astoria, i stepped out of my motel room and looked up to see this bridge to the heavens

    hans, that is one mesmerizing ‘glimpse’ you have there. …. other worldly — at first glimpse it appears i am looking out a plane window thru some scattered cumulus toward a field of lenticularus ….. or am i seeing something else?

    here’s a dramatic storm cloud that fortuitously swept over a spur called pigeon butte that i went out to photograph last week

    and a second pic tracking it as it head east

    thanks, hans — you make a good point about the ir effect that i hadn’t considered before …… it appears that the ir picks up more of the ice crystal reflections that we can see with the naked eye, thus ‘thickening’ its appearance, as you say

    here’s one that sure looks like something — does it make you think of anything (maybe a flying fish)? kinda looks like a familiar bug but i can’t put my finger on it

    cloud fire1

    cloud fire  — at least this one is not as dangerous as the wildfires we’ve been having around here lately

    you clearly have a lot of sky to play with out there in arizona, michael — looks like a lot of fun ….. saw some neat things in the cloudscape forum as well today ….. here’s something i saw while out on the coast, having lunch in the park where the old decommissioned lighthouse sits in newport, oregon

    thanks, ruth, for the kind remarks — and in return, i quite like the dissembling space ship

    here’s a rather explosive cloud spied off the long beach peninsula in washington state

    i like your cloudscape, ruth — makes one feel like taking a peaceful drive to nowhere in particular ….. here’s a cloudscape with cumulus mediocris (i think) hovering over a white oak savannah in the land of the yamhill kalapuya

    not sure it’s really a ‘thing’, but my immediate reaction while i photographed this one last week was “emanations from a think tank”

    lately i’ve been trying to see our fair valley through the eyes of the kalapuyan people who lived here before the great western migration pushed them out to reservations on the margins …… in an attempt to avoid obvious elements of modernity, i’ve decided to take aim at the skies over their former lands (an example was the ‘low ceiling over a refuge’ i posted last month, taken on the former land of the yamhills)

    this new one has a longish title — ‘view over the willamette from the land of the luckiamute kalapuya to the land of the santiam’
