Desert Halo
We report: it occurs to us as we are looking up that we might still be dreaming. There is a slight haze to the sky, and the light seems to be coming from very far away, soft around the edges. It is a little too cold for a dream, though, and this is what shakes us out of it.
Selection from "Nuages," a series of hundreds of digital photos I made in 2023-2024 while working at the exit gate of a factory.
I miss working outdoors.
hello :D i got two pics for you today! hope you're doing well :) (i have no idea what the spiral thingie in the second picture is, thought you might)
on a side note, i went on a deep dive about lightning and thunder yesterday, and i learned about the cloud type cumulonimbus flammagenitus (one of your fav clouds if i remember correctly?), super interesting stuff!
I'm doing alright, thanks! Yes, flammagenitus (aka pyrocumulus, which is a cool as hell name), is my favourite! The way it forms is so fascinating!!!
Image 1 has cumulus congestus and cirrus spissatus clouds.
Image 2 has cirrus spissatus fluctus with virga, cirrus uncinus homomutatus and cirrostratus nebulosus.
Now, that little wormlike cloud could be one of a few things I think! What i think is most likely is a virga being pushed around by some strong winds. It's still odd, especially given how localised and long it is, but still very much possible!
Great spotting!
gorgeous cirrostratus
