Sometimes I regret not just standing there and taking in the splendor instead of through a lens or phone screen. Oh well, I'll get over it.
Behind every cloud there is always the serene - Dietro ad ogni nuvola c'è sempre il sereno.

Waves they clash on the stone
At the edge of Neptune's home
Clouds they laugh, they float by
In their Kingdom in the sky
Looking down on the stone
Kissing the water , waves they roam
Clouds they smile, shed a tear
As they see, nightime near
When the Moon in his starry home
Will shine down on the soaking stone

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.
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.
