I decided to get rid of the giant Ikea shelf in the living room and build my own. Thanks to Matt for the clever design for the sliding doors.
SUNSET ~ Shelf-Cloud ~ Florida Everglades
Palm Beach County, Florida U.S.A. - 6/23/20
I'm going to stay on this 'great-night' for a while, if you don't
mind. I got far too many 'great-keepers' to let them pass and
get buried in the archives. It was the best night of the year
(so far) with its amazing sunset/weather-phenomena and the
shelf-cloud. Only the second shelf-cloud I've ever seen in South
Florida. So bear with me for a little while, and thanks for looking.

Higher shelf stones, above Glossop in the peak district. This is taken looking due south towards Kinder scout. The gloden colours of autumn/fall are just starting to show
An intense, 50mph moving storm complete with a shelf cloud and huge haboob rolls into the eastern portions of Phoenix on August 11th, 2015.
In the early morning hours an active MCS (Mesoscale Convective System) over the English Channel moved to the southern NorthSea. Near the Dutch coast it collapsed, but as a last sigh it pushed this shelfcloud over the western part of Holland.
I was almost too late because the shelfcloud was detached from the precipitation core and running a 10-20 km ahead of it....
A dying shelf cloud making the surrounding wind farm look miniscule. This was taken back on Saturday. There were a few more great photogenic moments that I'll add in the near future.
This "Empire" shelf clock with 8 day brass movement was made by The Forestville Manufacturing Co. of Bristol, Connecticut. circa 1845 This huge, weight driven clock is 41 inches tall.
Really appreciated the structure of the shelf cloud as lowlight illuminated the field in the foreground. Best kind of contrast.
Same view everyday.
Wish they'd point me somewhere interesting. I mean... how hard would it be to leave my frame pointed at some wonder of the world? But no.. I have to spend my life looking at the kitchen.
I rarely bother to look out now. Hardly seems worth the effort.

Thanks all for the most excellent comments. It was a laugh making the photo and took very little PP effort even if it looks like a lot. I took over 100 torturous photos of myself trying to get the angle right for the frame, whilst being in focus and pulling an expression that was vaguely appropriate. Check the photo next in my photo stream for a small montage of face gurning.
If anyone is mad enough to follow suit, it's a simple enough approach....
It took me a while to realise that it would be far easier to make sure my fingers didn't go over the edge of the frame. That meant that I could cut the frame out perferctly without any crazy selection wizzardry - fancy stuff still befuddles me.
I copied the contents of this selection and pasted it into a picture of the frame and shelf that I had taken previously. Then I needed to drag the corners a little to make sure it fully lined up. The 100 or so photos were needed because if I was a little bit off with the frame geometry, I'd end up with a stretched looking face.
Getting the lighting right was simply a case of thrusting my head into almost exactly the same position that the frame was in on the shelf. I was careful to make sure the original picture of the frame wasn't in shadow and was far enough forward. That way, I'd be able to get my head somewhat close to the required position when I was jamming it through the picture frame.
Another tip: Bend the little bits of the frame that secure the glass in, back into the frame. I have a lovely little cut on my forehead from a rather exuberant frame frollick.
The only real tweak was to use the burn tool to darken the edge between my face and the frame. There was a bit of light coming through and it didn't exactly make it look convincing.
Anyway, Matron has just called me.. she has some new pills. These ones (she promises me) taste of wishes.

I know you'd love to:
I love books and I have lots of them! I keep an account of my books (in detail) and sort them by author...
There's one problem: I have to resort my books every 2 to 3 months because i'm buying new ones continously =) I know this is kind of weird because it's lots of work but it makes me happy to spend time with them....
Some details:
Number of books: 220
Not finished: 32 (i don't finish books that are really bad...)
Not german: 25
Mangas: 53
Just for school: 8
My favourites: "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, "Alaizabel Cray" by Chris Woodings, "Stierhunger" by Linda Stift and all books from Sujata Massey!

Not ever thunderstorm creates a shelf cloud. Usually of the 100 or so individual storms that move through Cheyenne, Wyoming a year, less than a hand full ever border on supercell strengthen to generate one.
Photographed these Shelf clouds at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County Lakeland Florida U.S.A.
An arcus cloud is a low, horizontal cloud formation. Shelf clouds are one type of arcus clouds. A shelf cloud is usually associated with the leading edge of a thunderstorm.
It was a pleasure to welcome this beast, a magnificent shelf that finally walked through Zadar, Croatia!

Thanks a bunch for all the support! 🎄🎅
Saw this very strange, scary looking sky formation while on my way home from a short day trip last Wednesday. I have a number of shots of it and it got stranger looking by the minure as I drove farther northwest on Route 480. At first the dark area looked a little bit like the funnel cloud of a tornado. :-) It didn't start to dissipate until I turned right off 480 and headed east. Earlier in the day, the sky had been perfectly blue with only the occasional fluffy white cloud. But by the time I saw this, the sky was completely white.
The closest thing I can find like this to compare it to are shelf clouds. But that's debatable.

Mostly out of curiosity, I downloaded the Reddit app and signed up. Much of what's on there makes me cringe or shake my head, but I've been spending time at their Photoshop subreddit. I've been learning some things as I look at what folks have submitted for critique. Composite photo montages are extremely popular there. Something many submitters ask is how to make an element blend better into the scene. Commonalities seem to be not paying attention to light sources, and not knowing much about shadows.
That prompted me to set up some things and shoot photos at various times of day to study contact shadows and cast shadows. This is one of the shots.
Mannequin's right foot is off the ground so there isn't a contact shadow there, but there are at the other foot and where parts of its body contact the ball and where the ball contacts the shelf.
I thought at first this would be a simple set up, but then I noticed that there is light reflected from the shelf upward onto the ball and mannequin, from the ball to the mannequin and from the mannequin to the ball.
New Mexico is a strange place for shadows. We're so high in elevation that in direct sunlight, shadows here don't behave the same as at lower elevations. The edges are more crisp. There isn't the same fall-off of density as the shadow gets farther from that which is casting it.
I had to shoot this photo before the sunlight directly hit the shelf in order to see the gradations of density.
Painters study light and shadows, but rarely do photographers. And if folks are going to be trying for photorealistic montage, they also need to know about light and shadows. As a result of these shadow study photos, back at Reddit I've been recommending that the compositors set up an action figure (all of them are guys in their teens and twenties it seems) and a desk lamp to see the directions that shadows are cast from a source and the gradations of density between contact and cast shadows and within cast shadows.

Mischievous Bella got up on the shelf with my Bears & dolls, at first I was like what are you doing up there, then I realized how cute she looked & ran for the camera.....
Shelf cloud from storm approaching from the north reflects ground light from southwest Twin Cities suburbs.
Lucked upon this beautiful cloud formation. After it provided some rain, a nice mist covered the land in the distance.
The last few days have been spent dealing with the polar vortex. Besides the frigid subzero temperatures, Sheboygan, Wisconsin has also had an amazing shelf ice buildup along its Lake Michigan shoreline. The result has created an otherworldly landscape that have drawn photographers to capture this temporary condition. Some have practiced extreme photography, scaling these ice configurations for that perfect shot, but also putting themselves and first responders in potential life-threatening danger. I have to admit that years in the past I did so myself. The two photos posted today were taken from the actual shore, not from an ice shelf.
The middle of the three posts today is a drawing that illustrates why shelf ice exploration is dangerous. A friend originally posted it and asked others to share it as a preventative measure. I am doing this and hope that it is helpful.
