Lenticular cloud on top of a rapidly developing cumulonimbus cloud.
This was a really localized storm. I saw nothing but sun from my apartment but the street and my car two blocks north were both wet.
In the middle of nothing, I looked the sky, it was spectacular. A cloud, too large, seemed to take possession of all.
I went to that magical place in order to capture some sunset views. The sunset was not something special but right after it the clouds made some great formations and allowed me to capture an amazing night scape.
Thanks for visiting, kind comments and favorites and have a great weekend, my friends! Please, Look on BLACK!
Looking back on Beinn Tulaichean from Cruach Ardrain it seems the remaining cloud doesn't want to let go of its big prize.

I was visiting my uncle Jimmy in Mississippi (who is actually my great uncle), and the sky was just unbelievable. I was so glad I brought my camera.
A routine practice flight today turned into an interesting next video! Here I am in close proximity to these clouds more to come!

Jungfrau is one of the most famous mountains of Switzerland. The word Jungfrau, I am told by the local experts here, means "virgin". For some reason or the other, this mountain is named that way.
I was on this spectacular Panorama trail that covers this area. The trail took me through a region that offered stunning vistas of three of the most famous mountains in the region, The Eiger, The Monk, and The Virgin.
As it turned out to be cloudy day, it provided good opportunities to capture these timeless peaks in very interesting ways. The challenge was however getting the right exposure.
When I metered the sky, the mountain details were lost. If I metered through the mountains, the clouds were lost. I soon recognized that an F8 at 1/640, with a -2/3 would do the trick. Presto it did. Look at the beautiful texture of the clouds. Looks like cotton candy... doesn't it.
Enjoy the view. Fave it if you like it.

I've noticed Mistletoe growing increasingly in UK trees, so I read up about it and learnt that it's due in part to an influx of continental blackcaps from Germany that have started overwintering in Britain, with many thousands now spending their winters here.
'Blackcaps are migratory warblers that are becoming regular winter visitors to our bird tables. Berries, including those of mistletoe, are an essential part of their diet. On eating the white flesh of the mistletoe berry, the birds wipe their bills on twigs and branches, leaving behind the seed. If the seed is deposited on a host tree and manages to take hold, a mistletoe plant might germinate on the branch. It seems that blackcaps are more efficient at spreading mistletoe seeds than other birds, such as the mistle thrush, which also feed on the berries.' - www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2018/12/where-does-mistleto....
'According to the Anglo-Saxons, kissing under the mistletoe was connected to the legend of Freya, Norse Goddess of love, beauty and fertility. According to legend, a man had to kiss any young girl who, without realizing it, found herself accidentally under a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling.' www.thewhitegoddess.co.uk/articles/mythology_folklore/mis....
