From Magnificence to Malevolence
Skies above Palos Verdes
01-30-23
I shot this closeup of swirling clouds in the skies above Bluff Cove in Palos Verdes Estates on the 30th of January. I surmised, although I didn't know, that in a few days from then, when I began my trip up to Utah, I'd be experiencing possibly snowstorms. I missed by a day a snowstorm on the 15 on the way up through Utah. And the snow clouds were pretty interesting.
I'm always amazed at cloudscapes. We see shapes and shadows, identifiable animals and dragons, and all manner of depth and wonder within them. Some cloudscapes move slowly and some advance so rapidly we find ourselves wet and freezing before we even realize what's happening.
The opposite of cloudscapes are skies filled with solid, almost otherworldly blues. I love the blues, and the variance of skyful colors, but I I still love clouds more. My favorite are of course the big fluffy cumulonimbus clouds against a solid blue. But I also love the swirls and shadows of storm clouds.
