Cirrus

We have had so many magnificent days with blue skies lately. After the high pressure system that gives us these conditions starts to move away, the next system that moves in may be a warm front. Moisture on the leading edge of the front first comes in at high altitudes - generally about 16,000 feet, and because it is so cold up that high, the moisture turns into ice crystals. And that's what Cirrus clouds are made of. But I prefer the poetry and beauty of these clouds, to the scientific explanation. Don't you?
It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Knowing the scientific explanation makes the appreciation of the beauty of any natural phenomenon all the more intense. That's why we study the lives of stars, the colors of a rainbow, or the physics of music!
