I 'm a Cloud-aholic

Ever changing clouds patterns give me sense of wonderment.

 

Here's a twilight view looking out from Kohloy Recreation Park immediately after sunset. Rays from the fading sun bounce against a carpet of altocumulus clouds, and the result is an impressive display of vivid textures across the landscape.

 

If you're a closet cloud-aholic too, feel free to contribute here.

Re: I 'm a Cloud-aholic

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful sunset and at the same time starting this poetic and cloud-aholic thread.

 

Hope to see soon other lovely contributions adding up here with some information related to the locations where the clouds were spotted (and captured) by the photographer and also a part of landscape in it, as you cleverly did.

  

Have a great cloud hunting around the world, Local Guides! And don't forget to fill up the "Location" field on your post to help others find it;).

Re: I 'm a Cloud-aholic

Many thanks for the message MariaB.

 

Evidently I'm in a crowd of precisely one on this theme but hey, no worries. Makes it more of an, erm..., exclusive thread, no? 

 

I'll do my level best to fill in some of the blanks others leave behind. 

 

As far as local tourism is concerned, rainy season (not now) is low season. Yet for me it's the absolute best time of year when our skies offer a far more captivating narrative than your average tv soap. 

Here's a burst of cloud nicely complemented by a wave of human hair as this vehicle sweeps by on a bridge across the Kok River, Chiang Rai.

Re: I 'm a Cloud-aholic

Great post, @Anonymous, beautiful post. I like it at 100%.

 

Non so dire se queste sono nuvole o una nebbia talmente fitta da avere il colore e la consistenza delle nuvole. Ero in vacanza in Toscana, nel Mugello, e aprendo la finestra la mattina ho avuto la precisa sensazione di essere SOPRA le nuvole.

Questo è quello che ho visto

Re: I 'm a Cloud-aholic

See angry clouds and lightning strikes during one heck of a wicked night across Chiang Rai. Both myself and camera took a fair beasting from the rain.

 

Then came a look of relative calm (second photo). It's oh so deceptive, was actually the lead edge to a next wave of storm.

Re: I 'm a Cloud-aholic

 24 hours before November's supermoon was due, I did a test run in search a landscape to overlook the exact direction of where our moon would rise next day.

 

One particular cloud formation caused mixed emotions of a) Joy - another not to be missed photo opportunity, and b) abject horror - like oh no, this lump of cloud is in my line of fire, please don't let there be a repeat performance tomorrow! 

 

By resting so neatly inside a mountain cavity, the cloud here mimics active volcano

Re: I 'm a Cloud-aholic

The cloudaholic thread is such a lonely space it's left to myself once again to fill in another blank.

 

Here's a rogue storm cloud competing with bright blue sky above Chiang Rai Old Airport.
