Unreal light at dawn through clouds, off the French coasts, flying a little over the Atlantic Ocean at an altitude of 7.000m.

Lumière irréelle au lever du jour au travers de nuages, au large d'Hendaye, en survolant un peu l'océan Atlantique à une altitude de 7.000m.
Thank you so much for your kind words, faves and invitations to groups! I really appreciate each of them !!!

My shots over 1,000+ faves.
My shots Explored.
view from Oberau, Berchtesgaden into the valley. A little thunderstorm passed by and leaves a great show!
Sunrise from a couple of weeks ago off Worthing , Cokin P121 ND Grad Filter and Cokin Polariseing Filter, I could not believe my luck with this ever changing light show. View On Black
One of my favourite views - looking over the fields from Cissbury Ring. This is a regular spot for evening walks in the summer months
THIS IS A FIRE RAINBOW - THE RAREST OF ALL NATURALLY OCCURRING ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA.
CLOUDS HAVE TO BE CIRRUS, AT LEAST 20K FEET IN THE AIR, WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ICE CRYSTALS AND THE SUN HAS TO HIT THE CLOUDS AT PRECISELY 58 DEGREES.
Thanks to mariamiller18 for finding this cool tidbit above.
I've seen this phenomena maybe 4x since I've taken up photography but this is my best capture. It must be from a rainbow but it looks more like its shaped with the cloud. I just think its mesmerizing. Used a circular polarizer to bring out the details.
Right over my head earlier this summer...
Cumulus cloud
Small cumulus humilis clouds floating over cloud that can have noticeable vertical development and clearly defined edges.
Cumulo- means "heap" or "pile" in Latin. Cumulus clouds are often described as "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" in appearance, and have flat bases. Cumulus clouds, being low-level clouds, are generally less than 1,000 m (3,300 ft) in altitude unless they are the more vertical cumulus congestus form. Cumulus clouds may appear by themselves, in lines, or in clusters.
Cumulus clouds are often precursors of other types of cloud, such as cumulonimbus, when influenced by weather factors such as instability, moisture, and temperature gradient. Normally, cumulus clouds produce little or no precipitation, but they can grow into the precipitation-bearing congestus or cumulonimbus clouds. Cumulus clouds can be formed from water vapor, supercooled water droplets, or ice crystals, depending upon the ambient temperature. They come in many distinct subforms, and generally cool the earth by reflecting the incoming solar radiation. Cumulus clouds are part of the larger category of free-convective cumuliform clouds, which include cumulonimbus clouds. The latter genus-type is sometimes categorized separately as cumulonimbiform due to its more complex structure that often includes a cirriform or anvil top. There are also cumuliform clouds of limited convection that comprise stratocumulus (low-étage), altocumulus (middle-étage) and cirrocumulus. (high-étage). These last three genus-types are sometimes classified separately as stratocumuliform.
Formation
Cumulus clouds form via atmospheric convection as air warmed by the surface begins to rise. As the air rises, the temperature drops (following the lapse rate), causing the relative humidity (RH) to rise. If convection reaches a certain level the RH reaches one hundred percent, and the "wet-adiabatic" phase begins. At this point a positive feedback ensues: since the RH is above 100%, water vapour condenses, releasing latent heat, warming the air and spurring further convection.
In this phase, water vapor condenses on various nuclei present in the air, forming the cumulus cloud. This creates the characteristic flat-bottomed puffy shape associated with cumulus clouds. The size of the cloud depends on the temperature profile of the atmosphere and the presence of any inversions. During the convection, surrounding air is entrained (mixed) with the thermal and the total mass of the ascending air increases. Rain forms in a cumulus cloud via a process involving two non-discrete stages. The first stage occurs after the droplets coalesce onto the various nuclei. Langmuir writes that surface tension in the water droplets provides a slightly higher pressure on the droplet, raising the vapor pressure by a small amount. The increased pressure results in those droplets evaporating and the resulting water vapor condensing on the larger droplets. Due to the extremely small size of the evaporating water droplets, this process becomes largely meaningless after the larger droplets have grown to around 20 to 30 micrometres, and the second stage takes over. In the accretion phase, the raindrop begins to fall, and other droplets collide and combine with it to increase the size of the raindrop. Langmuir was able to develop a formula which predicted that the droplet radius would grow unboundedly within a discrete time period.

I walked outside after hearing the thunder. Clouds rose from the distance seeming full of water waiting to release.
Just then I looked straight above and saw a huge cloud heading towards a collision course with another.
If only for a moment I was a kid again, smelling the new rain and feeling so small in the world. Dang, it was only a moment!
Il 18 febbraio 1940 nasce a Genova uno dei più grandi poeti e cantautori italiani
Fabrizio de Andrè,oggi avrebbe compiuto 71 anni e visto che alle nuvole aveva dedicato un album e come la sua Marinella se ne è volato sopra una stella
questa immagine è dedicata alla sua memoria
e di seguito uno dei tanti testi/capolavoro di uno dei brani che più amo
Inverno :
Sale la nebbia sui prati bianchi
come un cipresso nei camposanti
un campanile che non sembra vero
segna il confine fra la terra e il cielo.
Ma tu che vai, ma tu rimani
vedrai la neve se ne andrà domani
rifioriranno le gioie passate
col vento caldo di un'altra estate.
Anche la luce sembra morire
nell'ombra incerta di un divenire
dove anche l'alba diventa sera
e i volti sembrano teschi di cera.
Ma tu che vai, ma tu rimani
anche la neve morirà domani
l'amore ancora ci passerà vicino
nella stagione del biancospino.
La terra stanca sotto la neve
dorme il silenzio di un sonno greve
l'inverno raccoglie la sua fatica
di mille secoli, da un'alba antica.
Ma tu che stai, perché rimani?
Un altro inverno tornerà domani
cadrà altra neve a consolare i campi
cadrà altra neve sui camposanti.
Se non è poesia questa!

Ciao Faber!
buona vita e buone foto a tutti
They are so important in landscape photography. Annoys me when there is spectacular cloud cover but no subject and no time.
Marina Park, Alviso, CA
The drought in California continues. We rarely see a lot of cloud under solar halo in the sky.
加州乾旱已經好多年了，平常很難看到日暈和多雲同時出現於天空。
火車已經想不出甚麼點子了，請大家將就著點看吧！ :-)
Spending a calm day boating under the pretty fluffy clouds
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜 💕💕💕
