Just a few interesting visible wind phenomena,
a contrail twisted by an upper atmosphere wind stream
oops, this is a bit of a ring-in, I saw some crows flying overhead,
did a fast reaction body twist and snap . . . gotcha!
A layer of cloud sweeping in,
can you see the associated wind turbulence that is whipping up
the clouds into a frothing surf?
When the wind does that at ground level where you cannot
see it, it can toss and topple a plane on landing,
not pleasant for anyone. Airports at some locations are closed
and all traffic diverted under such conditions.
Enough of the lesson in meteorology, here is some gentle
eye candy, just some cumulo-nimbus at sunset.
Don't you just love watching the sky?
I do.
Lovely Arija, meteorology stuff and all. Love the last shot. Beautiful, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletei like the wind-swept contrails mixing with clouds. the color in the last is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, delightful, fanciful, colorful skies and you've captured them all, Arija! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThose winds make for beautiful photos, but a rough ride in the planes! Indeed, sky watching is a relaxing way to pass the time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these sky shots. There is no end to the beauty to be seen when looking to the sky.
ReplyDeleteSurfs up! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots. The wind can do beautiful things with the sky.
ReplyDeleteThat last looks like a watercolor, Arija. I like skywatching with you.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous clicks enhanced by your comments!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the lesson in meteorology! And the eye candy. I do love looking at the sky, our stars have been shining so incredibly bright lately. That makes me wonder. Sometimes when we're really lucky we get to see the Northern Lights here.. Do you get the equivalent of that (Southrn Lights?) there down under?
ReplyDeleteNo, unfortunately not. Although we are in South Australia, it is still too far north for that incredible light show.When I was a child in Latvia we sometimes got the red/orange flashing lights in the summer, around August. I was too little to be taken out in the middle of the night on those super cold nights when the Northern lights flash.
Deleteamazing... it does look like frothing surf!
ReplyDeleteI never, ever tire of watching the sky. These are gorgeous shots - thank you.
ReplyDeleteLovely skies!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies.
ReplyDeleteSuch a variety of clouds in your skies. I'm going to start looking for those twists. Thanks for the meteorology tips and great photos. I watch the sky because it tends to change faster than most of nature.
ReplyDeleteAls wärs ein sanfter Seidenschal...und zum Schlus noch eine wunderschöne Abendstimmung...

Hello Arjia :)
ReplyDeletemagnifiche nuvole bianche in questo tuo cielo così azzurro !!!
Bye Myriam
Woosh! ... I love that top pic .... a plane has just jetted by heading off to some far flung corner of the world. Sky-watching is like seeing an ever-changing masterpiece and we all interpret it differently.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots ~ Love the capture of the bird soaring high and strong ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.
The 4th one looks like the ocean with a foaming white wave about to wash up on the shore. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAll glorious Arija, especially that last shot!
ReplyDeleteWonderful skies to see...
