PabloS----------I don't mean to be picky, but isn't your pic taken in Borrego Springs??? (Love that place.)

All the pics of "clowds" are outstanding. Thanks for this thread, Diane.

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?:lol::lol:

Diane


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 :rolleyes:


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. :lol:

Like your last picture the best---great texture in all, but John says that last one looks like a big chicken foot in the sky and he REALLY likes it. He thinks maybe it will rain pozole.

I grew up at the beach (West coast) and now I'm facing the wrong way over the water. I really miss those Pacific sunsets! And the noise of the waves. Anyone want to trade? All your pics are really nice to just look at and daydream.

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.;D::lol::dudette:

Nena

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

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!

Thanks Nena,

The two pictures are of the same sky---I just played around with where I exposed the shot----I also like the second one best.

The variety of clouds in the different pictures are really awesome---hope there are more to see.
