Pas toujours facile à mettre en pratique !
Bonne journée 😅 Nice day to all of you !
It will soon be sailing season in Ontario. Recently launched, and mast and sails going on soon This sunset photo was taken at Norman Island, BVI, while tied to a mooring ball for the evening. Processing in free download of NIK and cloud softening adjustment in Lightroom.
The clouds at Hurricane Ridge in Olympic national part, At an elevation of 5,242 feet (1,598 m), Hurricane Ridge is a year-round destination. In summe. 在奧林匹克公園的Hurricane Ridge， 高大約1600米，沒有趕上最美的時候，但也相當震撼了

Texture thank you IrisB
Absolutely Extraordinary High End.
A beautiful hazy morning on Ullswater, it was one of those morning when you can almost sense that something special is going to happen. I went to one of my usual spots on the shores of Ullswater, set my gear up and waited for things to happen. The first hint of colour started from the left gradually covering the clouds and sky with a stunning pastel orange glow. One of those morning when you realise why you get up early, and stand for a while waiting..

Sassolungo, le Cinque Dita.
Narra una leggenda che un tempo la Val di Fassa fosse abitata da una comunità di giganti che vivevano in buona armonia. Ma tra di loro crebbe un tale di nome Sassolungo che era un vero spirito cattivo. All’apparenza buono, ma dedito a compiere pessime gesta e negare di averle compiute incolpando altri. Negava anche difronte all’evidenza dei fatti. Allora il capo dei giganti lo toccò con la bacchetta magica e lo fece sprofondare nella terra. Sprofondò fino a quando resto fuori una mano, le Cinque dita, appunto.

Thank you all for your kind comments.

During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.
