Splendido paesaggio con cielo, perfetta esposizione con una resa straordinaria delle sfumature di bianco in contrasto con l'azzurro saturo, molto bella anche la composizione che mostra la silhoutte delle montagne che esalta il senso di movimento delle nuvole, ottima definizione, bellissimi i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello Jane
I like a good cloud...Just to watch it change its shapes and forms as it grows or declines...This is a stunning formation and captured superbly..The peaks of the hills really give a sense of perspective..(If James sees this I am sure he would be able to tell you the different types of cloud)
All the Best

Hello Jane,
It must be really nice to see clouds when they're as rare as they seem to be in Tucson.
This is a very beautiful capture of these fluffy clouds although I expect they're building up for a storm. Great DOF, lovely colours and very well composed!
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hi Jane

Yhere is a massive amount of air movement here - in the upper and lower atmosphere - there are both cirrus, alto and strato clouds here - and yet this is not a 'hammerhead' - it looks as if there was massive air instability. Just how hot had it been? Was there a dramatic change in temperature? A strong wind?

Anyway - beautifully caught and exposued.

You'd once mentioned you were a cloud watcher, Jane.So I was aware that I could expect a shot from you with that subject, so I was not surprised at this post when I saw the thumb!
But when I clicked open the shot, it turned out to be a revelation!The sheer scale in this shot is awesome!And the lovely details!I feel I'm standing right under this beautiful azure sky with its lovely clouds!
Very well done,Jane!

Hello Jane,
If you want to see clouds, come to Holland now. We haven't seen the sun for days and its raining all the time.
But this is a very beautiful photo in great clear colours and an excellent composition and DOF.

Hallo Jane
What a sensational view of these billowing clouds. A photographic moment seen and the opportunity well taken. A well exposed cloud formation. Seeing them develop is fascinating scenery, wondering what will come out in the end, rain thunder or shine. A cloud formation well focused, composed and presented. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy your day.

Yesterday evening, I casually strolled on to the terrace of my house and was delighted to see a thick bank of monsoon clouds obliterating the sun and creating a marvellous effect, Jane. I quickly grabbed my camera and took a few shots.
Unfortunately, the urban horizon, especially in our country with those mazes of wires and cables, makes an unappetizing scene. I tried to avoid them, but it did not work. Let me edit the raw files and see if I made any sense.

In your picture, the horizon of a dark hill looks pristine and the interesting monsoon cloud shapes hovering over it look beautiful. The dark hill also contrasts well with white and gray clouds.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful image and best regards.

Jane, this is a fantastic sight, I am breathless! Beautiful and you mention my favorite singer too! Your picture of these clouds is a regal, with beautiful colours and deepness to reach out to the sky. I mean, we seem to be small insects compared to one of this fluffly beauty. Thank you!

Hello Jane

I looked and looked and saw no birds,but then I remembered that birds fly in the sky,so this is a bird shot,just of their domain.
Excellent contrast between the blue and white.
The colours are rich.
