Shapes.

From a sphere, to a tetrahedron, to a cube, to a dodecahedron, bubbles can build a variety of shapes as they join together. The geometry changes as the bubbles share walls to save their soapy material, creating new shapes inside the morphing spheres.............
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.
Very late and rushed taking this image. Anyway, thanks to member John Dunlop for the idea of water rushing out of a tea pot.
Hello Everyone!
I spotted this Clematis bloom and really liked the lines and shapes of the petals. This is SOOC.
I truly appreciate your comments and views. THANK YOU! I'm wishing you all a lovely day!

We become what we behold and only to shape our tools and then from our tools to shape us, and then, we find the majesty is a thing of beauty to behold and not lose!

Will we recognize them on the finishing day?
Another from the spectacular evening up on Holmepark Fell. I was taken by the way the fiery clouds to the right of this windswept tree sort of complimented it's shape. The textures of the weathered Limestone Pavement on this high exposed plateau also added to nature's rich palette. The colours were spectacular after the sun set, giving the whole scene an ethereal feel.
The sun had set around 20 minutes before over Morecambe Bay with the Fylde Coast and Welsh Mountains in the far distance beyond Heysham Nuclear Power Station. You can also see the car headlights on the M6 in the middle distance near the Carnforth exit and the Bowland Fells lie to the left of the Tree..
I got some lovely images whilst up here again and I also knew my friend John Bleakley was getting the same colours and sky whilst down by the coast in Morecambe. I look forward to seeing the same sky on his shots!!
