Featuring Baja Clouds

I love clouds and we don't have them too often around here. These were around, however, right after sunset last week.




I hope others have pictures of Baja Clouds to share.

MORE BAJA CLOUDS, LAGUNA HANSON

Awesome!

Last Sept. on Shell Island where some big ones over the San Pedro Martir filled the sky! My truck is here for comparison






Some rainfall...

And let's not forget this one:

All the photos of clouds are nice---agree that the color in Big Woos is quite different and quite nice.

Curious, however, does anyone else take pictures of just clouds without anything else in the picture?

No land, no ocean, no truck, nothing, or am I the only one with my head too much in the clouds?

Diane

No truck in a photo??? Surely you jest!!

Thank you guys for the compliment...That was a very different sunrise, probably because of all the moisture still in the air after the storm. I've never seen colors like that since.

As far as cloud only pictures...I don't have one picture of just clouds...of course I could cheat and crop everything else out

schwlind, You expressed my thoughts perfectly! Keep the pictures coming!

No, no cheating. Most cloud pictures, IMHO, need an anchor with them, but once in a while, I see some that seem to want to stand alone, IMHO.

OK, so let's see some more Baja Clouds, anchor or no anchor.

And, yes I posted this one before, but it is still one of my favorites taken in Bahia Asuncion---Fuji film sky and all.

Only one other in my collection worth showing other than sunrises.

this evening from the roof

another

last one

Found a few more clouds last evening--





Just another magnificent evening in Baja.

Really enjoying seeing everyone's clouds.

Diane

Sure, Russ, I'm up for a trade.

You take my place for a coupla weeks - you can even have the time period when the sun sets right behind the Golden Gate Bridge. Sit out back, drink your margarita, enjoy all those sunsets....

... but ya gotta let me be enjoying the sunrises in from your place in Punta Chivato.:

p.s. Oh? You meant someone in Baja?!

I think it's a matter of perspective. Although we love the sound of the waves, when we're at our place and go for walks inland, we always comment about how peaceful and quiet it is.

I think I like sunrises over water better. I like getting up early to watch it progress from a thin red line under a dark starry sky to the bright disk popping over the horizon.

Back to clouds...I found two more. Seems all my cloud pics are consequential to a sunrise or sunset photo. That exhausts my library of halfway decent cloud pictures...just have to go back down and get more!

Hi all,
Muy chilo pics!!

Heres one I took this spring at Rancho Meling, very weird looking clouds, I think they are known as lenticular clouds.
I think the "motherships" make em to hide behind!

Natalie Ann, Sorry TOO Cold!
One more pic I don't think I've posted before:

I like that last shot very much, Russ.... the shadows and the light.

And yes, it is too cold here.... why do you think I tried to get you to trade?!

Sunset at Laguna San Ignacio:

Sunset at San Quintin:

Clouds as reflections

... is my favorite way to look at them.

Wow to all of you! Beautiful. Those first two of Russ' makes a believer out of me. I expect to see the traditional image of God; old man in flowing white robe, long white hair and beard, arms outstretched with palms upward, looming almost as big as the sky itself, saying "Come my children, the time has come".

After seeing those photos I am packing my bags. Oh, I'm bringing my camera along too.

Tony, in the interests of saving at least one SF-area sinner, I offer this Hubble 'cloud' photo to further inspire you. My son, it's not too late to come back from the Dark Side.

Sorry it took me so long, Rog. I've been hiding under the bed. While beautiful, that cloud scares me.

Just because I like this topic and hope to see it continue

Late afternoon at Laguna Ojo de Liebre

Well Diane, I will bump it up because that photo is really beautiful. And all the others too.
