Mammatus clouds (Landscape) by EOS20

This series of Mammatus clouds where taken just as a really big summer thunderstorm had formed over my house. From what I read, the Mammatus clouds are caused by ice in the clouds becoming heavy and causing the cloud to sag. A very rare site! Taken with my 20D and 70-200 f/4.

Golden Ice by Kasia-D

kalalau valley by kevin smith

After sheltering under a nearby boulder from a late afternoon tropical downpour my patience was rewarded with a rainbow only befitting the Garden Isle’s most majestic valley. Excerpt from a “letter to the editor” ”.....it brought back fond memories of my (several) hikes to ‘Heaven on Earth’. Last time I took my honey she threw down her pack and proclaimed loudly, ‘This is insane. I’m not going a step further!’ / As I peered over the more than 600-foot vertical drop to the ocean I began to remember, many years ago, my first hike to Kalalau. Well, I had to yell at her, and if I had a bull whip, I may have had to use it (joke). She happily thanked me later for making her finish the hike, and indeed she verily danced with confidence on the return leg. / For the purist, hiking is the only way. Every corner is a new breathtaking vista that serves to only lighten that heavy pack. Paddling – it sounds like fun, but you really haven’t experienced Kalalau unless you hike it and spend a few days there. Like fine wine, there is no hurry to drink. / What’s the big rush ? ‘Getting there is half the fun.’ But Kalalau is ‘being there is all the fun.’ Experience its night sky filled with so many stars you will see your own shadow and swear its moonlight. Take time to savor its stunning beauty and then you will be truly blessed by this enchanting place and know why Kalalau is the world’s premier hiking destination.” This image is featured in the KALALAU VALLEY calendar / / and also in the RB publication GAIA – The Living Planet .

About This Group

Welcome to our new moderators – Richard, Trevor, Gabbie and Emsky :))

Kia ora, this group is for skyscapes art that is predominantly sky, as opposed to land or sea. Majestic cloud-filled skys or stormy nights. Sunrises and sunsets. Art where the focus is the sky, not a building, smokestack, moon or anything else unless there’s a fabulous sky in front of or behind it. And if you have two very similar images, it goes without saying that they would look better entered separately than together.

- up to two image uploads per day
- any questions, just ask.
