"It was long thought impossible to infer clear types from the constantly shifting skies. But based on the journals [Luke Howard, industrial chemist by trade and amateur meteorologist by calling] kept since the age of ten, Howard became the first to name standard cloud formations systematically. "

A study of clouds at sunset, referencing my own photo. I'd had the photo knocking around for 20 years and finally decided to paint it, and the result ended up being one of my favourite pieces of this past year.

Sometimes my soul rises and becomes a white cloud drifting across the sky. It watches, lives in the sunlight, stays quiet and, when it feels sorrow, it cries.
Yet the sky above it is, and will always be, bright and blue.

Just eight days ago, I gave a popular science talk at @mpi_grav about colorful phenomena in the sky, and now – boom!
Just minutes ago, there were beautiful iridescent clouds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_iridescence) here, north of Hanover, Germany.
Here, light is diffracted by tiny droplets in the clouds, creating these typical mother-of-pearl colors.

The reason I went outside to take photos was because of this fascinating phenomenon.
This is a “dissipation trail”, or “distrail” for short, which is essentially the opposite of an airplane's contrail (condensation trail).
Here, the aircraft exhausts temporarily dissolve the clouds. However, new clouds can then form again along the distrail.

Work trip postponed due to bad weather, and this little ray of sunlight shows up between snow-laden clouds.
What does all this teach me?
That I really need to clean that window!

Ōtautahi put on a fine norwester light show this evening. Here are some panoramas I just stitched together from my sunset photos.

A photo of an orange bank of cloud in the sunset. The cloud at the bottom looks like it's dripping out of the cloud bank.
