Yesterday was such a great day for clouds. From Los Angeles to the Nevada stateline all up I-15. I took over 90 pictures, landscapes with cool clouds, stopped maybe about 5 or 6 times, I didn't keep count. Ended up with 8 or 9 pictures I really liked, many of the others were very similar, so tried to pick the best from each stop. This cloud shot was taken at the last rest area on top of the mountain just before the long hill down to the Nevada stateline. I wasn't actually above the clouds, but they were about even with the altitude I was at.

Today's fun fact - Black Swans were presumed not to exist because there was only ever records of white ones. Then when Europeans discovered they did in fact exist, in WA Australia, the phrase "black swan" was coined. The Black Swan by scholar Nassim Taleb, was ranked by the Sunday Times one of the 12 most influential books since World War II. Taleb's black swan theory states that dramatic unexpected events matter more to history than regular happenings.
Bit simpler for me, I just like to photograph them on the local lake. Especially at sunset. Like little floating silhouettes. (bit of an older pic, revisiting some unloved pics from my Flickr exile years)
At Sth China Sea Resort, Malaysia... had just woken up very early and saw the emergent awesome sunrise from the villa balcony ... quickly grabbed the camera and headed out to the beach foreshore to photograph its beginning ....

A lenticular cloud in the process of breaking up cruises over one of the many lakes on Beartooth Pass. Was fascinated by the unique shape.
Thanks for taking a look!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
mirando hacia el infinito y buscando respuestas contestando a mis preguntas mientras me siento observado
por lo cielos amparados por lo dioses..
looking towards the infinite and looking for answers answering my questions while I feel observed by the heavens protected by the gods ..
Taken from Badlands National Park in South Dakota last June...
"Why are some of the badlands mounds yellow?
As the water level dropped and the sea floor became land, the Pierre Shale (the bottommost rock layer of the Badlands) crumbled into soil and created the Yellow Mounds Formation, so called because of its mustard-like color."
Hope everyone's having a great day/night, thanks for visiting!

An image from a perfect evening at Longshaw Estate last week, with a great cloudscape and golden light across the landscape. The Beech trees to the right of the scene seemed an even more intense colour they appear here. I liked the way the path, the fence and the Ha-Ha lead the eye to the trees.
Some impressive clouds seen at Good Harbor beach in Gloucester. It was low tide when I visited, and the reflections in the wet sand were quite fascinating.
Note "Salt Island" on the right, which can be accessed by walking across at really low tides. Also, in the far distance you can make out the dual lighthouses of Thacher Island.
Works best when displayed in large. Feel free to zoom in.
"La primera vez que vio la isla, Marini estaba cortésmente inclinado sobre los asientos de la izquierda, ajustando la mesa de plástico antes de instalar la bandeja del almuerzo. La pasajera lo había mirado varias veces mientras él iba y venía con revistas o vasos de whisky; Marini se demoraba ajustando la mesa, preguntándose aburridamente si valdría la pena responder a la mirada insistente de la pasajera, una americana de las muchas, cuando en el óvalo azul de la ventanilla entró el litoral de la isla, la franja dorada de la playa, las colinas que subían hacia la meseta desolada. Corrigiendo la posición defectuosa del vaso de cerveza, Marini sonrió a la pasajera. «Las islas griegas», dijo. «Oh, yes, Greece», repuso la americana con un falso interés. Sonaba brevemente un timbre y el steward se enderezó sin que la sonrisa profesional se borrara de su boca de labios finos. Empezó a ocuparse de un matrimonio sirio que quería jugo de tomate, pero en la cola del avión se concedió unos segundos para mirar otra vez hacia abajo; la isla era pequeña y solitaria, y el Egeo la rodeaba con un intenso azul que exaltaba la orla de un blanco deslumbrante y como petrificado, que allá abajo sería espuma rompiendo en los arrecifes y las caletas. Marini vio que las playas desiertas corrían hacia el norte y el oeste, lo demás era la montaña entrando a pique en el mar. Una isla rocosa y desierta, aunque la mancha plomiza cerca de la playa del norte podía ser una casa, quizá un grupo de casas primitivas. Empezó a abrir la lata de jugo, y al enderezarse la isla se borró de la ventanilla; no quedó más que el mar, un verde horizonte interminable. Miró su reloj pulsera sin saber por qué; era exactamente mediodía".
Fragmento de La isla a mediodía, de Julio Cortázar.
Mirando desde la ventanilla del avión cuando te acercas a una isla es imposible no acordarse de este maravilloso cuento.
