After walking over in the lake district for over half of my life I eventually managed to witness a cloud inversion. As we drove to the top of Kirkstone pass I noticed the mists enveloping Ambleside in the valley, so off we trecked to try & find a vantage point to try & capture the scene, & this was the result.
5 X shots joined into a panorama taken at iso 50 - 84mm - f16 - 10 seconds. Lee 0.6GNDH & 0.3GNDS Filters.
Star trail, single exposure lasted 1 hour, taken of course in a moonless night.
I've been so many times above the clouds that I no longer even remember how many...
For me it has become a totally normal thing to see below me a lovely carpet of clouds.
Since the late evening this carpet of clouds was entirely shrouding the Valle Gesso, Natural Park of the Maritime Alps (Italy).
From my vantage point I saw that this valley was pointing slightly to the north, so I instantly knew that thanks to Earth's rotation through a very long exposure I would have got the trails of the stars converging right into the cloudscape! Almost like a logical continuation, an extension of it :-) With some distant light pollution coming from the valleys of Cuneo that would have provided a proper hint of light (light pollution is such a precious component in night photography, unfortunately too often misunderstood and underestimated by beginners).
And so it was, as evidenced by this photo.
It has been really fascinating to fix this interrelation between such elements so ethereal and peculiar (stars, light, clouds). A minimalist and silent dialogue... as I love to understand and live the mountain, in serene and peaceful solitude, admiring these bridges toward the otherworldly.
I am pretty sure: in silence there is the answer.

Driving through the lanes west of Marlborough in the Kennet Valley, these spectacular cloudscapes caught my eye. Finding somewhere with a clear view over the fields to them, and where I could also park safely on these very narrow roads, was another matter. But I got there in the end!
Late afternoon (5PM) showers tried to developed but lower level air was very dry. Virga and some gusty winds was the best the atmosphere could deliver.

The musical cloud is singing the silent song!!
Listen...just listen...it is all contained in the silence
shhhhhh
A cirrus streak from northwest to southeast dominated this morning's sky. Some alto-cumulus near the sun (upper right) added to the scene. What a beautiful summer's day (temperature was 66F). Warmish tone is truer to what my eyes saw.

Wyoming is fly-over country as jets travel from coast to coast. When the upper atmosphere is colder and moister than usual, contrails (condensation trails) have an easier time forming.
Notice how the contrail is hidden by lower clouds but not by higher clouds.
A lengthy discussion about contrails can be downloaded for free from my co-authored eBook entitled: Wonders of the Atmosphere (page 306): www.stanrenaissanceman.com/BOOKS/WONDERS_ATMOSPHERE_BOOK.pdf

Like a Genie from a Venetian Bottle, a giant thunderhead began to spread over Venice as we returned from Burano on the ferry. And yet it gave us no thunder or rain but it continued to swelter. Venice is in the distance on the left with the Island of Certosa, abandoned since 1960 but now coming back into use as a green space and marina, on the right.
Shot taken at dawn from the summit of Mount Rocciamelone (3.538 meters / 11,603 feet), Susa Valley, Italy.
Beneath this infinite sea of clouds lies the Susa Valley.
Caressed by the first sun rays, you can see the ridges of the Orsiera Natural Park, at the horizon well distinguishable the pyramid of Monte Viso.
