Sunday was such a nice day out. Later after Sam went home, I did some laundry and took some pics! The sky was so pretty, and there were some unusual shaped clouds. Just sharing, no constructive criticism needed.

One of the views from my deck:


This was taken looking straight up. Strange, straight clouds:


I liked the shapes and colors of these clouds:


Sunset (we've had better):


Another shot of those straight clouds:

Yeah, that's an interesting way of looking at it. I also thought of it as the clouds/gasses of a planet, or just the sky splitting open.

The third picture really has my attention, though they're all lovely.

The area around the sun in the third picture expresses so much energy, and that energy creates a barrier of contrast between the dark clouds above and the darker houses below. There's something balanced about it. Great job!

Nice images, Sue.

I like the first one best. The strong colors of the apartments and the white outlines of the windows compliment the sky.

All were very good but the last one was exceptional.

Thanks for the compliments everyone I've got 2 more from today and one from last week I'd like to share.

The white blur you see in the sky was an airplane. I liked the silhouette of the church and the sky's colors here.


An explosion behind the mountains:


I guess I'm just a fan of clouds? The very bottom part of these clouds reminded me of a flock of birds for some reason:

Beautuful shots sue, very nice.


A sunset thread. Yes.
We need a good title.
Perhaps we could call it 'Sunset Boulevarde.'

These are nice. I remember when I first found out about how clouds can classified into types and all the interesting names they had.

Cumulonimbus, Nimbostratus, Cirrus.

I like clouds too

I wonder what those long ones are called...

The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

They are called lenticular clouds, and are very interesting clouds indeed. They get me excited - years ago when I flew gliders, the sight of wave clouds on the lee side of my mountains meant I would soon be riding nature's up elevator. Got a bit past 16,000 once before the lack of onboard oxygen forced a descent.

I love sky photos; here's a few of my own:







If you look closely at that last one, you can spot the moon!
