    That’s a monochromatic apotheosis,dear Cybele!Superb photos and a very witty title!Mitchell’s lyrics perfectly described the dramatically clouded skies!The evasive rays through the cumulus clouds in your last photo are spectacularly diffused!

    Okay, I’ve learned two important facts from your post: 1. Judy Collins did NOT write “Both Sides Now,” and 2. the name for those lovely sunbeams in your last photo (never heard the term “crepuscular” before!). So thanks, Cybele, not only for your gorgeous photos, but for also expanding my knowledge base 😉

    Nice collection of pics, Cybele. Clouds lend their own mood, don’t they? Sometimes, HDR sequences can even reveal additional formations! 🙂

    Very good – I knew the Judy Collins version, but did not realize it was written by Joni.
