A view out over the English Channel from somewhere along the costal path near Portloe in Cornwall (with some sailing boats just visible on the distant horizon).
⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
Not the best shot because of the different exposure steps in the pic, but i thought it would be worth to show it.
This fascinating storm front came up from the valley of the river chemnitz.
For a little while it seemed to become a thunder cell but finally it didn`t happen.
Numbers 9:16 (ESV) So it was always: the cloud covered it by day and the appearance of fire by night.

Another image from John Ford Viewpoint in the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. After morning snow showers, the sun came out and the clouds were epic. You've probably seen images from here with a Native American sitting on a horse on the edge of the bluff in the foreground. Just behind me were locals available for hire. Maybe next time.

Taken at the top of Aiguille du Midi. You see peaks of the Mont Blanc Massif poking through the clouds.
The American White Pelican, frequently spoken of as "THE CLOUD DANCER” representing their graceful, soaring flight in groups, often moving together in the sky. The White Pelican is a masterpiece of natural avionic architecture, a creature of stark, snowy elegance and of prehistoric size. On the water, it sits high and buoyant like a regal white galleon. In the air, it transforms into a master of the thermals with its massive 9-foot wingspan tipped with ink-black flight feathers that only reveal themselves in motion.
Unlike its rugged, salt-sprayed cousin the Brown Pelican, the White Pelican possesses a luminous, pristine plumage that seems to glow even on overcast days. It's most striking feature is the massive tangerine-orange bill, which during the breeding season, develops a strange keratinous horn on the upper ridge...a temporary crown that gives the bird a mythical, archaic appearance.
On the water they dip their pouched bills to scoop up fish, or tip-up like an oversized dabbling duck. Sometimes, groups of pelicans work together to herd fish into the shallows for easy feeding. Look for them on inland lakes in summer and near coastlines in winter.
When they move, they do so with a quiet, synchronized grace. Watching a flock circling and soaring in a tight rising column high above the California landscape is a hypnotic experience, as the CLOUD DANCERS alternate between brilliant white to sudden black with every tilt of their black tipped wings against the deep blue sky.
