Something For The Weekend — Part 84 — Cloudscape

[Trevor.Dennis]

This was taken most of the way up Black Birch in Marlborough.  You can drive all the way to the top on a road built to serve the observatory that used to be at the top but you do need permission to access the track.  I tried to pick an image that offered various opportunities for this week's SFTW.  The cloud inversion could be a sea to float on, or a roof for objects to pierce from below.  Or a river, or glacier or a scene from 'The Invasion of the Candyfloss Monsters'.     There is little perspective information which makes it a bit easier...  perhaps.

As always, anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.  Anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go — whether you are a complete beginner or an expert or somewhere in between.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don’t be shy — join in and have a go!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200 px on the long side.

To download the starter image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artifacts, right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).  I have downsized the image to 6000 pixels wide.  I can probably upload the original 8500 pixel image to Dropbox if anyone feels they need it. 

Good luck

Nice! I'll have to do something for this

It's a beautiful starter image, Trevor!

Here's another musician practicing for the concert in upstate New York on August 15-18. They will expect 50,000 and a half a million will arrive.

Yes, Leslie, that’s Richie! And Jimi is the street musician in Re: Something for the weekend — Part 83 — Streets of Warsaw. Both are concert photos from the August 15-18 concert that took place five days from now and fifty years ago.

So many memories! Richie Havens always makes me think of Woodstock.

Exactly, Leslie! The fiftieth anniversary of Woodstock is this Thursday, August 15. That’s the concert Jimi Hendrix is practicing for on the Streets of Warsaw and Richie Havens is practicing for here.

But you have actual memories of the 60s?
“If you can remember the 1960s, you weren’t really there”

[Leslie Moak Murray]

Haha! Yep, that's what they say, and they have a point.

Observatory staff can't decide on Leo or Aquarius

HothWampa  ROTFL!  I wasn't expecting that angle, but it is as clever as it is funny.

Jane, 50,000?  That's even bigger than MAX.

A quickie

Skydiving > Skyswimming, Trevor?

50,0000 expected; 100,000 tickets sold; a half a million concert goers arrived. Adobe MAX gets bigger every year, so they may get there with their numbers!

Ged, I saw the picture before I saw who it was from, and thought in an instant that it had to be Ged.  You don't disappoint matey.  This time I had to hit Wikipedia to see if Terry Gilliam had retired from making movies, and moved to Ireland, because this one is so Monty Python.  Bizarre — obviously bizarre as it is a Ged rework — but strangely beautiful.

Rafael is that the view of Central Park as seen from Professor Norman's apartment?  For those that don't know, Norman has the penthouse right above Sting's apartment.   He used to live next door to Yoko, but, nice as it is, you can only listen to John Lennon singing 'Imagine' so may times, and it is frankly embarrassing when you are asked for your address, and you have to say Strawberry Fields. JJ lives on the other side of the park, and they often communicate via semaphore using powerful telescopes

Rista, have you been getting lessons from Ged?

Trevor, that is the view from the Rockefeller building's observation deck at the top. Good eye!

Trevor.Dennis​ is not entirely wrong, I do live in Manhattan. Beyond that, my only claim to fame is that l invented a parachute that opens on impact.

[jane-e]

Norman, I thought you live near the better park?

[Norman Sanders]

jane-e​  Although our park, a couple of blocks away, is the site of the Mayor's Mansion and boasts of one enclosed play area for small dogs (pull-toy size) and another for humongous beasts, I have to admit those features do not measure up to the attractions of Central Park: muggers. con men and hookers (who I prefer to call busy-bodies). Well, ya can't have it all.
