I love it when the clouds look like this :)

Yesterday's post had a bit of color. I decided to up the ante today. Found this little beauty in a residential neighborhood in Kansas City.

Have A Wonderful Day Everyone : )

The start of our new weather serie.

Cumulus Humilis clouds

Cumulus clouds mostly form as a result of localized pockets of warm air rising.

Cumulus humilis is the smallest form of cumulus clouds and results from relatively weak convection (humilis means humble in Latin). This produces clouds that generally have flat bases and small, rounded tops. Technically, a cumulus cloud is considered to be a humilis formation if it is wider than it is tall, as estimated by an observer on the ground. The height of these type of clouds is about 500 tot 1000 meter or 2000 to 3500 feet. It's unusual that rain falls out of these type of clouds.

Attention friends, we've got ourselves another one who'se taking our pictures, with a link to 500px, but not mentioning where it came from: www.flickr.com/photos/michaelhaupt/14632815455/in/photoli...:

That is what they looked like to me. The clouds were moving really fast that morning ... this was only a 5 second exposure.

ein schönes Wolkenband über den Färöer

Hier seht ihr in der Ferne die Felsen Risin og Kellingin.

Sie sind zwei Felssäulen direkt vor der Nordküste der Insel Eysturoy auf den Färöern in der Nähe der Stadt Eiði .

Der Name Risin og Kellingin bedeutet „Der Riese und die Hexe “ und bezieht sich auf eine alte Legende über ihre Ursprünge. Der Riese (Risin) ist der 71 m hohe Felspfeiler weiter von der Küste entfernt, und die Hexe ( Kellingin ) ist der 68 m hohe, spitze Felspfeiler näher am Land.

Always waiting for the sky, it's my main motive.Then I queried and I fill all the cards. Interesting days are about 4 times a year.

Всегда ждем небо, это мой главный мотив. В тот день я заполняю все карты. Интересные дни около 4 раз в год.

Non sempre le nuvole offuscano il cielo: a volte lo illuminano.

Clouds come floating into my life, to add color to my sunset sky, after darkness time. *Pura*

This is a sunset picture I took last November, where I fortunately was fast enough to get my camera since this spectacular view lasted only a minute or so. This is also the reason why the foreground in the original shot was pretty dark and hence I pushed the shadows as far as I could to make the meadow visible. Together with increasing the contrast a little to emphasize the nice shape and color of the clouds this introduced some additional noise, but I think it is worth sharing anyway. Hope you like it!

mi son sempre piaciute le nuvole.. riescono sempre a sorprendere.. soprattutto in questi giorni, dove piombano nel bel mezzo di una giornata di sole e scaricano secchiate d'acqua con tanto di fulmini a condire il tutto! però, tutto sommato, mi piacciono lo stesso.. meglio se bianche, ecco.. :)

Cloud Gate is a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Sir Anish Kapoor. Constructed between 2004 and 2006, the sculpture is nicknamed The Bean because of its shape, a name Kapoor initially disliked, but later grew fond of. Made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has no visible seams. It measures 33 by 66 by 42 feet (10 by 20 by 13 m), and weighs 110 short tons (100 tonnes or 98 long tons).

I was bowled over by this magnificent sculpture; there will be more photos, rest assured. This is a five photo stitch taken at the end of the sculpture.
