Clouds over the field this afternoon, and the Church next door.
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” (Tagore).
Iridescent clouds are a beautiful phenomenon-but they're rarely seen and even less frequently photographed.
Iridescent clouds, known as "fire rainbows" or "rainbow clouds," occur when sunlight diffracts off water droplets in the atmosphere. And the recipe for these heavenly sights is actually pretty simple.
What happens is that the cumulus cloud, boiling upwards, pushes the air layers above it higher and higher. As the air gets pushed upwards, it expands and cools. And sometimes moisture in that air suddenly condenses into tiny droplets to form a cap cloud.
This "cap"—which scientists call a "pileus"—is the source of the brilliant spectacle.
The droplets in the cap cloud scatter sunlight to form the gorgeous colors.
I felt very lucky to have seen this. It's a very rare sight. California.

Hoje omito minhas palavras,
mas com uma vontade louca de gritar ao mundo...
Mataró (10/10/09)
En un tiempo bastaba clasificarlas en cuatro tipos: cirros,estratos,cúmulos y nimbos. Y bastaban para predecir el clima. Ahora se las agrupa por lo menos en cirros-estratos,altos-cúmulus, altos estratos,estratos-cúmulos, cirros-cúmulos,cúmulos-nimbos, y los pronósticos se han hecho muy inciertos. Parece que hasta las nubes se han complicado.

ok, not architecture. more clouds. some buildings in there, too, so i guess it's tangentially architectural.
mainly it's just a picture of some gigantic clouds bearing down on relatively tiny l.a.
more buildings to follow.
Powerful winds at sunset, observed from Col d'Ambin, an alpine pass in the Cottian Alps located on the Italian-French border at 2,921 meters above sea level.
A photo tries to convey the atmosphere experienced in such moments of primeval essence…
Fortunately, I’ve also taken some videos in this splendid location, which can be viewed at the following links:

With very little wind about... and clouds this groovy… I simply had to strap on my Sigma 10-20 ultra-wide yesterday… and go off in search of something to reflect them in!
I really love the way that everything converges towards the center here… it kindof sucks you in… don’t you think!?
