Have many sunset photo, but I dont think those qualify.

Here we have some dark clouds in a definite line..... and some other stuff going on that made me stop and think how lng it would take to get home from there....

I believe they do, Dave...

The colors of the sunset result from a phenomenon called scattering. Molecules and small particles in the atmosphere change the direction of light rays, causing them to scatter. Scattering affects the color of light coming from the sky, but the details are determined by the wavelength of the light and the size of the particle.

Agreed.

A little air pollution will add a phenomenal effect to a sunset as well.

Perhaps what brother Redman is thinking is that "sunset" is low-hanging fruit for the theme of "atmospheric phenomena" and he wants to see more (or at least challenge himself to submit) non-sunset APs...

Them are whitecaps on the lake, yes Dave?

Mayhaps....That does indeed fit, with the persona of the one we call, "Redman."

Part of the fun of the game is the different interpretations of the theme, whether literal or loose. I've tried to keep the theme this week sufficiently vague. There are no wrong answers. Though I did have in mind something a bit different than just sunsets and sunrises, some of those can be quite "phenomenal". Post what you got. We'll enjoy the pics. Leave it up to the voters. It's a bit like playing Apples to Apples. some players will always pic the most literal card thrown. Others, you can count on to never do that and go for a card that is the opposite of literal, or funny, or perverse/sarcastic. That's the fun of the game. Yes, it's a picture game where you're supposed to "match" the theme, but whatever.

I think it's nice to have that room for interpretation, and I did see this as Dave's personal feeling about what he would submit, and perhaps what he would vote for. And as you said, there may be some particularly fantastic sunset or sunrise pictures that are worthy.
But lightning. Man that's a one-in-a-million shot.

I like the comparison to the game apples to apples. Without individual unique interpretations, it's just apples.

And just what the heck you millennials going on about? Apples to apples?

[Spyder]

It's a card game that can be a lot of fun with the right group. Anyone ever played cards against humanity? That one can be fun too, with the right group. It can also be incredibly awkward. Played it once with my son and his girlfriend, my wife and her sister. Never again. I can't even mention the awful things my son's girlfriend (a real sweetheart that the whole family loves) was forced to read from a card, to me. Awkward just doesn't cover it. And Who are you calling a Millennial?lol

Now, back to the GAME!

I had grandpa duty tonight and stopped by a windmill on the way home to see if I could get a picture of the moon and clouds. Kinda funny, the kids got soaked riding home from their volleyball game but there wasn't a drop on my ride.




Ain't much of a picture but it was pretty cool looking in person.

Looks like an eye peering through the clouds to me!

I was hoping to get some stormcloud pictures this afternoon / evening, but by the time I got home it was flat gray.

So I'm going with long moonlit walks on the beach....
scratch that - long moonlit rides to the reservoir.
