Thanks for reading! 🙋♀️💕
I was dreaming about colors and black and white last night. I have an active imagination even sleeping. (I even created this phrase in my dream but it doesn't have a lot of sense for me."Nothing mourns colors like the absence of light." I was curious about the origin of colors and the phrase and searched online. (Didn't find the phrase) This is what I found about the complexity of colors and black and white.

During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.
The photo was taken in the city of Konakovo. Russia. On the banks of the Volga River.
Hermannus Boerhaave (1668-1738), great naturalist and director of the Hortus of Leiden, called this plant (1727) by a now disused name: Granadilla. His personal motto was 'Simplex sigillum veri', something like 'Simplicity is the hallmark of truth'. What he would have thought of the complicated symbolism of Jesuits in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with respect to this Passionflower, I don't know. It's called 'Passionflower' because in its flowering could be seen by the faithful the instruments of Jesus' Passion: the nails, the pillar, the whips and of course the triune pistil.
Here that originally South American complexity is being visited by a Honeybee.

for a Peaceful MBT!
The complexity and beauty of a Common Sow Thistle flower. Similar but smaller than your average dandelion flower
The almost fiber optic effect at the back of this Kingfishers head made us smile!
The wind was just enough to part the feathers. and it was interesting to see how the colour varied along each individual strand of hair. The same Kingfisher can look to have different coloring dependent on the light,, and this exquisite complexity is probably a major factor why
A little detail that adds to one of the most beautiful little birds you can find
we recently camped in a wilderness area, where we canoed to our campsite. leaves fell from trees and landed in the water. i found this glowing leaf that appeared to be crying. life is complex. we hold many things in our hearts: grief and gratitude; anxiety and hope; dark and light; tears and laughter.
A complex autumnal scene taken on a damp grey morning stroll through Hillock Wood. I had to wait for the wind to die down before taking the shot as the branches were moving about a lot and I didn't have a lot of light, but it represents what I saw.
Thanks for stoping by and taking the time to comment. always highly appreciated. have a beautiful evening, dear flickr friends and good light :)))

Taken overlooking The Hangings at Whiteleaf, Buckinghamshire. There was a lot to take in looking down into this valley and I couldn't work out to go wide or try and focus on individual structures, so I thought sod it and went the middle ground. Lots of characters jostling for space on the hillside with the sun making its presence felt at the top of the shot trying to burn off what mist it could find!
I am in Kuala Lumpur again this week, and guess what, I went to shoot the Petronas Towers again. It's a permanent quest to find new angles...For this one, I wanted a very geometric composition. The camera was on the non extended tripod, parallel to the ground. Took several shots (impossible to look in the viewfinder!), by slightly rotating the camera, checked the results on the LCD until I got the correct framing. Then I fired the seven auto bracketed shots.
Technique used: Smart Objects mixed with Digital Blending/Layer Masking. 7 exposures used. This is not a tone mapped HDR. I am pretty sure that tone mapping won't give me those color tones.

Spring woods.
This was taken in March at a bird reserve in Cambridge. I just love the complex tracery of the branches.
For the Crazy Tuesday group's Silhouette theme.
Silhouette is a word I struggle to spell. Why not write it silohoot? I know it's French, but just remember Agincourt OK? [Our hapless commentator ducks and runs...]
Converted to B&W and toned for my 100x challenge...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Crazy Tuesday and 100x. :)))
Dedicated to Catness Grace and Paul Ewing for sparking the idea.
