Oregon’s Ever-Changing Sky
Monday, March 31st, 2008
I took this image yesterday mid-day from my backyard, and did a little image editing in Photoshop to create this month’s masthead image. The last 12 images for the masthead have all come from photos taken of plants in my backyard (except one image from the beach). It’s the start of a new 12-month cycle and my eye is turned towards the sky.
Clouds fascinate me with their constantly changing structure and type.
- Heavy cumulus.
- Wispy cirrus.
- Stormy nimbus.
- Mushroom-shaped cumulonimbus.
In yesterday’s image, you see fair weather cumulus with their sharply defined edges and bases at the bottom left, and some wispy high-level cirrus clouds in the top right. Watch for more sky and cloud images from me this year.
