Spreading clouds that originated with lenticular formation. Truly a picture perfect sky.

This photo was taken three years ago from the grounds of the Griffith Park Observatory on my favorite kinds of days, when there are myriad fluffy clouds in the bright blue sky.

I live near the ocean, and I'm physically about 30 miles away from the nearest fires, but the skies have been oppressive and dark, bordering on apocalyptic yellow and orange, not bright blue, and raining ash at times.

I'm praying that the fires will pass, and sooner than later. The country has burned enough. Hopefully these blue skies and wondrous clouds will return above California and the West.

Unusual to see several forms of cirrus at the same time. The sun is at the extreme right. Focal length equivalent 14mm.

Taken 24 Jan with iPhone 11 Pro Max.

One of my more recent images captured at my local beach. I tend to spend more time there during the winter due to it being on the south coast. The Sun sets and rises out to sea, the weather is more interesting and there are far fewer people. This was the tail end of a summer storm, the coast always offering something to place under such a wonderful backdrop. I think I’d like to spend more time storm watching in the coast this winter.

Interesting clouds this morning.
