Spectacular clouds over Poole harbour.

the clouds today were so pretty :)

warned you all that more clouds were coming :))

A cloud towers over the causeway just before dawn in Jensen Beach, Florida. See this, and more, on my website at tom-claud.pixels.com.

Had a night in the Peak District at the weekend. Not much time for photography though, and weather wasnt the best. This is about the only bit of light that happened!

The local winter inversion has been fairly consistent over the last couple of years; the fog rolls in and settles for about a week. This makes it fairly simple to plan an evening photography walk out to a favourite viewing spot.

This year the opportunities have been elusive. When I am unavailable or don't expect it, the fog suddenly arrives but doesn't stick around. When the forecast calls for it and I pack my camera bag, the fog fails to materialize.

This week I finally went up to try out my backcountry ski gear. It hasn't been used in at least 2 years! There were hints of fog creeping in after work so I returned for my camera bag hoping I could go for a photography walk after skiing. But after an enjoyable skin up Seymour Mountain, the city was still clearly visible below.

I didn't realize however that East of Vancouver, the Fraser Valley was completely enveloped. Halfway down the mountain there is a decent viewpoint and I curiously parked there. The clouds were further away than my regular vantage but I pulled out the tripod and took a couple of quick shots. The thickness of the clouds led me to plan for a trip up the following evening. But the low clouds dissipated throughout the day and nothing was left to shoot.

In an effort to share photos more frequently than last year, I pulled this one from the Wednesday snaps. It was converted from RAW, added a little brightness, contrast, and removed some digital noise.

The cloud is wrapped around the mountain as if to give it a big hug. I took this shot in the morning along the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park.

Infamous for bringing heavy precipitation and storms, cumulonimbus clouds are huge clouds that can spread between the differing levels of the troposphere, towering up into very high altitudes (you can’t really miss them). Their tops seem to resemble an anvil.

Group Of Clouds Shining In the golden Light Of Sun

From the top of Win Hill Pike on a very windy day, at least it was at the top. Bradwell village can just be seen in the shadows.

Pueblo, Colorado

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are clouds in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000–25,000 m (49,000–82,000 ft). They are best observed during civil twilight, when the Sun is between 1 and 6 degrees below the horizon, as well as in winter and in more northerly latitudes.[1] One main type of PSC is made up mostly of supercooled droplets of water and nitric acid and is implicated in the formation of ozone holes.[2] The other main type consists only of ice crystals which are not harmful. This type of PSC is also referred to as nacreous (/ˈneɪkriəs/, from nacre, or mother of pearl, due to its iridescence).

When you're in Kaikoura, the mountains tend to end up on all of your photos. Here they are with clouds playing above them, and waves crashing below them.

Captured during 83 secs with my IR camera.
