Thank you for your comments, Laurence. Yes, I do try to keep my horizons (relatively) level. There are so many editing programmes with straightening tools, there really isn’t an excuse for sloping horizons. I use the straightening tool in iPhotos on my iMac. It is adequate, but not great, I am seriously thinking of getting something better…..if I ever get the time to look!

Hello Rosie
Another lovely photograph from you which pleases me much indeed. Grand vista!
So glad, too, you keep the sea horizon dead level i.e not sloping daftly to the left or right which really mars so many seascape photos posted onto the photo gallery. As an ex photo judge sloping horizons in seascape photography annoyed me much but certainly not in this instance, as too, all your lovely photos depicted in your photo gallery. You take really lovey and pleasing cloud photos.
Best wishes, as ever.
Laurence.

Greetings, Rosie!
Thanks for your welcome reply – it is always good to hear from CAS members like your good self.
We are now into April. I was again pleased to see your lovely Cirrus cloud photo (posted onto the photo gallery 27 April last year) gracing my copy of the CAS’ calendar for the current month.

Renewed congratulations!

Thank you for the comment, Laurence. I do rather like this one myself.
Doonsheane is one of my favourite spots, and on a good day, can provide with some very photo-worthy clouds!

My favourite cloud to perfection! Thanks, Rosie, for this splendid shot – it is a pleasure to view.

Hi Rosie
‘Tis I again. Greetings to you.
I was wondering only yesterday when you might submit another lovely photo and yes, today (5 March0 you have done exactly that with another of your pleasing restful photos.
I am really fond of mood shots and your photo fits the bill great. Need I say, your photo is my new screensaver. Thank you.
Best wishes, as ever.

I’m glad you like my photos Laurence, I’ll try to keep them coming!
Best wishes, Rosie. -

Another pleasing shot from you, Rosie. This sort of view I have a soft spot for.
That said, I now have your photo as my new screensaver which replaces the earlier one of your lovely Cirrus clouds, viz, the photo proudly which appears in the CAS 2016 calendar.
Thanks and best wishes.

Hi again, Rosie
I have recently been thinking much about your Cirrus cloud photo (featured in the CAS 2016 calendar for the month of April) and your comment that your good man, of necessity, had to learn about reading clouds and what they might portend during his fishing expeditions – many so hazardous and life threatening at that.
I listen to the BBC’s Shipping Forecast every day / night with the sincere hope that all on the sea will be ok. We are safe on land, others not so…
That said, your photo brought to mind a piece of music which I have a great fondness for called, “Eternal Father, strong to save, Protect them where so’er they go…”. It is evocative and moving and reminds us of the perils others on high seas are faced with and dealing with.
Here is a link to that music.

Hi Rosie,
Indeed I do. Just the thing to have given the awfully drab grey days we are presently enduring. Your photo gives one hope for better and more clement weather to come.

Still searching for the Pot of Gold I’m afraid!
Thank you for the congratulations, I was delighted to have my Cirrus chosen for the calendar, I couldn’t believe it was good enough for inclusion. Do you still have it as your desktop? -
Laurence Green says:
A nice and evocative shot, Rosie. Did you find the fabled pot of gold?
As an aside, I was very pleased to see your photo of the beautiful Cirrus clouds included in the CAS 2016 calendar. Congratulations and well done. You must be very pleased!
Laurence

Hi Rosie
Thanks for this lovely shot. I love rainbows! Did you go a’lookin for the fabled pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?!!?
You will be pleased, I am sure, to know that I have just received the splendid 2016 CAS calendar, and yes, for the month of April your beautiful Cirrus cloud photo is proudly featured.
Well done and congratulations.

I think they look like dancing clouds! Relaxing!
Thanks!

Greetings, Rosie
That which you relate confirms my thoughts. I find that when these lovely clouds come, and lovely they are, they are, sorry to say, harbingers of unsettled rainy weather for the next few days.Thanks again for the photo. It is still my screensaver and will remain so for quite some while. It is a pleasure to look at.
Best wishes.

Rosie says:
Thank you for your comment, Laurence, glad you like my photo. I’m sorry, I can’t be much help on the question about the forward line of the clouds; all I can say is that we had had some beautiful weather for about two weeks before i saw this cloud, and we have had some wet, windy and cold weather since. And yes it did start within a few days of seeing this cloud. I don’t know if that means anything?

Hello Rosie
Thanks so much for this really lovely vista. I think you will be glad to know that I have this image as my current screen-saver. This is bliss! It is lovely to look at!
Tell me, please. Cirrus cloud pointing UPWARD along their forward line of travel means loads of rain within the next two days, whereas, if the clouds were to point DOWNWARD in their forward travel harbingers good weather for several days, if not more.

I have only just found your comment, Laurence. Yes, this is taken about seven miles from Dingle town, in West Kerry.
It is very unusual for us to get such a formation, our clouds this year in particular have been very mundane. I think these asperitas were pretty widespread on this day, a friend of mine in Peterborough also had them, we both put photos of them up on Flickr.
As ever from you, Rosie, a lovely shot! Is this photograph taken in the vicinity of “The Dingles”?
Here in Yate, south Gloucestershire where I live (dwell!!) I see nothing like this type of cloud even though I keep an active eye on the clouds.
Best wishes.
Laurence
