Mammatus clouds over The Hague

Das waren sehr unwirklich anmutende wattig-weiche Plusterwolken vor 2 Wochen. #FotoVorschlag “Texturen“ #cloudporn

Graue Wolken, sehr wattig.

I wish a space game in future (NoMansSky, Star Citizen etc.) will have a cloud tech that enables flying through the eye of a storm. I know that Flight Simulator has this already.

Armageddon over #Budapest.

Dark clouds rolling in over central Budapest. Picture taken from a bridge over the Danube, Parliament on the left, castle hill on the right. A sharp line in the clouds separating the light and dark parts.

God clouds in a Los Angeles alley. I hope the coming storm is kind to our poor house. #clouds #CloudPorn #CloudsAndSun #GodClouds

The afternoon sun drops partially behind a thick dark cloud, sending rays through a gap in the bottom of the clouds and providing a mini sunset, with the top half of the sun showing at the top of the clouds. A diffuse pink glow colors the sky around the sun. On the left side of the alley is a house with abundant bushes growing over its privacy wall. On the right side of the alley is a utility pole and a chemical toilet covered with graffiti. In the distance, one tall palm tree stands straight.

🌅 Morning Phenomena: One Sky, Two Stories 🌈
This morning hit different. Barefoot in the chill, standing between a fire-lit sunrise and... what looked like a ghost of a rainbow. No rain, no clouds thick enough to matter — just light bending like it had secrets to tell.

First shot: a blazing golden sky, like the horizon caught fire and the clouds hadn’t gotten the memo. Pure cinematic drama.
Second shot: a soft arc, almost shy, glowing pinkish-violet in a clear blue sky. No storm, no downpour... just ice crystals high in the atmosphere, playing prism.

Not a rainbow. A halo. Formed by sunlight refracting through tiny, hexagonal ice shards in the upper troposphere — Cirrus magic. No spectacle, no thunder... just perfect quiet physics doing its thing. And I love that. When science, beauty, and a bit of WTF all line up.

Because sometimes the sky doesn’t just shine... it winks back.

🌈 Rainbow vs. Halo – not the same game:
Rainbows need rain — literally. Sunlight hits water droplets, gets bent and bounced around inside them, and splits into colors. That’s why rainbows are always opposite the sun and usually appear after or during a shower.

Halos? Totally different beast. No rain required. Just sunlight meeting microscopic ice crystals way up high — often in thin cirrus clouds you barely see. The light bends once as it passes through those crystals, forming elegant arcs, rings or spots of color... often subtle, sometimes surreal. They're rarer, quieter, and honestly? Sexier.

So next time you see a rainbow where there’s no rain... look again. The sky might be showing off in other ways. 😉

#clouds #cloudPorn #Halo #sunrisemagic #sunrise #goodmorning

A vivid golden blaze ignites the horizon as the sun disappears behind dark silhouettes of trees and rooftops, setting the clouds aflame in warm orange tones that melt upward into a dramatic wall of deep cobalt blue. The sky feels heavy with atmosphere, like it’s holding its breath… glowing layers of clouds catch the last light like molten smoke, rich and moody. Shot facing west in the sharp contrast of early morning stillness, the scene radiates cinematic tension and elemental awe.

Vantage: Ground level, low angle shot slightly tilted upward, capturing rooftops and tree silhouettes for scale and depth.
Mood: Brooding, fiery, emotionally charged.
Spice level: Sunset porn with stormy undertones.A surreal pastel arc floats over sleepy rooftops and silent houses, glowing faintly pink and violet against the smooth indigo gradient of the morning sky. No rain in sight… yet a ghost of a rainbow curves gently above, whispering of ice and light high in the upper atmosphere. The buildings below, slightly tilted in the frame, add a quiet stillness that contrasts the almost magical appearance of this halo. The moment feels dreamlike, like catching a secret nature meant only for early risers.

Vantage: Low-angle shot facing east, including several rooftops and a tree silhouette for grounding and contrast.
Mood: Ethereal, soft, mysterious.
Spice level: Whispering sky sorcery with rainbow flair.

#FotoVorschlag: Das Spiel von Licht und Dunkel in der Natur // The interplay of light and dark in nature

Am Sonntag auf dem Heimweg, ganz schnell aus dem dreckigen Autofenster fotografiert, aber die #Strahlenbüschel waren so schön // I took this photo on Sunday on our way home, it's just a quick snap through a very dirty car window, but I loved the #crepuscularRays

A dramatic sunset scene, where the sky is filled with dense, moody clouds. Rays of sunlight, known as crepuscular rays, pierce through gaps in the clouds, creating a striking contrast of light and shadow. The clouds are layered in shades of grey, blue, and orange, adding depth and intensity to the atmosphere. Below, a flat landscape stretches out, silhouetted against the vibrant sky. The horizon is lined with trees, and wind turbines, all appearing as dark outlines. The overall mood is both tranquil and awe-inspiring, capturing the raw beauty of nature’s light and shadow play.

Shot from the office window, few minutes ago <3

The sky was horny for destruction.
Layer upon layer stacked in lustful tension, folding into each other like smoke and muscle. A shelf cloud writhed across the skyline, teeth bared in silence... lips curled in anticipation.
That low, disc-shaped core didn't hover — it stalked.
Rotational hunger in the mid-levels. Saturated light.
The world felt still... too still.
Not a bird. Not a breeze.
Just that heavy, primal wait.
And then...
Boom.

Shot ultra-wide at f/1.63, 1/246 sec, 8.72 mm, ISO 50.

A wide-angle black-and-white photograph captures a cinematic storm scene looming over a sprawling office complex. The sky commands attention with a textbook example of stratiform instability — dark, multi-layered clouds arranged in concentric, wave-like bands across the frame. These formations suggest a well-developed shelf cloud or arcus cloud system, potentially signaling an incoming gust front or leading edge of a mesoscale convective system. The lowest cloud layer resembles a flattened lenticular disc, hovering ominously and low, evoking the visual of a descending mothership. 

Beneath the looming sky, a modernist office complex stretches horizontally, its clean grid of windows and rooftop structures appearing stark and sterile in contrast to the chaotic, brooding cloud mass above. To the right, mature trees anchor the scene, their dense canopy nearly silhouetted. Lighting across the image is diffuse, with no direct sun, indicating dense mid-to-upper cloud cover and a heavily filtered atmosphere — classic pre-storm conditions.

The photo was taken at ƒ/1.63, 1/246 sec, ISO 50, using a 8.72 mm focal length, likely from a smartphone ultrawide lens, lending a slight distortion at the frame edges and enhancing the sweeping scale of the storm front.

My beloved Canonet had an unplanned burial at sea shortly after this hike. In lieu of that roll of Ektar, please enjoy a diptych of low-res video frames.
