This was the scene the other day when I arrived up atop Battery 129 with friends MattyD90 and Chip Shotz (links to the right). Having met and abandoned the newly-reopened Palace of Fine Arts like a losing lottery ticket after I explained the way the fog was ( because I had spent an hour up there before the meet-up), there was absolutely no argument about where we all wanted to go.
The scene was one of a thousand cars and photographers and one woman with an extremely bright flash, although not strong enough to illuminate the city where it was being pointed, blinded me for a minute as I looked at the front of my lens to check for fogging. But, that's to be expected.
More importantly, I think many people had a really uplifting experience that day, due to the natural, as well as artificial, beauty and charm of the sights. I know the three of us did.
Thanks for looking!
Taken during westerly wind 40 with G55 mph. Temperature was in the mid 60'sF with relative humidity ~25%.
Could these highest clouds be cirrocumulus lenticularis undulatus?
Yesterday afternoon, we went out and it was still very hot. I took the photo with my Nikon D800E AND THE 60MM F/2.8 MACRO LENS. THANKS TO THOSE WHO VIEW, COMMENT AND FAVE MY PHOTOS.
Now, with a little help from Michael Lawlor - THX -, I think those clouds are undulatus asperatus aka asperitas. Anyway, it was a fascinating spectacle with skies like a mixture of snowdrifts and puff pastry, and at the end with a brilliant cloudburst.
