This week is a “themed” Monochrome Madness week, and Brian is hosting. He chose clouds for a theme.
I love clouds; there’s something so captivating about their ever-changing forms and colors. Mostly, I take photos of them over water or a field, as the reflections and open spaces amplify their beauty. Ever so many of my favorites come from moments spent on the road, where the sky seems to stretch infinitely above. I can spend hours gazing at the clouds while traveling by car, —sometimes they look like soft animals, at other times like in the last shot – people. I find joy and inspiration in the simple act of observing the sky.
In Finland many could associate this cloud to a band …Leningrad Cowboys have listen and look at the hairdos 🙂
for some reason I could not find my “best” on the road cloud shots so I went with these..
Ritva Sillanmäki Photography 
A good collection. My favorites are the lakes, the rocks, and Amalfi. 🙂
Thanks Frank 🙂
What a great selection of cloud images! I agree with you about reflections enhancing a cloud shot so my favourite it your second one, but I also love the lighthouse and the lone tree (‘7 PM’) in particular 🙂
I am really bad at naming my photos, hence finding them when I look for them. :-)Thanks Sarah
I’m trying to get better at titling mine as I have folders full of older images that I can’t quite identify!
Beautiful set, great!
These are terrific Ritva. I especially like the ones with water, whether or not there are reflections involved.
The water as an element certainly benefits from clouds as a background
Beautiful clouds that accent the landscapes Ritva! They are especially amazing in black and white.
Clouds work well in B&W as the are so 3 dimensional, easy to see the shape and shadows
😊
Wonderful skyscapes made more dramatic with the B&W.
Yes Brad 😀 , drama, mood is the the thing about B&W images that I appreciate about them.
Agreed.
Aren’t clouds wonderful? Love your gallery.
Sandy, yes they are. Thanks
My pleasure.
No favourites Ritva, just lots of wows, seeing faces and animals and enjoying the song. Loved their hair and fashion. Wonderfully crazy 🎵🎶
Outstanding photography of clouds and landscapes, roads and objects. I love lighthouses.
Thanks for joining in my Monochrome Madness Clouds 😀
Thanks Brian for listening 🙂 the resemblance was very obvious, eh?
It sure was 😀
Gorgeous photos, Ritva! That beach scene with the clouds reflecting in the water is stunning.
Thanks Egídio, that does seems to be favorite
An amazing collection Ritva, as expected. I love the Amalfi, the lighthouse, the single tree and I guess all of them haha
Thanks Teresa, clouds are great they often highlight the subject giving it a real boost
Great collection of clouds Ritva, that first one is really fascinating.
Thanks Leanne 🙂
