Me? ... I think it looks like a huge sperm whale.

That is one very nice launch.
Totally nominal.

I watched this cloud form most of the afternoon. A very meteorologically organic experience.
Clouds move at their own pace.

English Bay Vancouver on March 16th 2014 at 3:45 AM.
Day zero of the Sithid invasion from Epsilon Ceti.
Oh wait. I'm getting ahead of myself.

unfortunately this is not a shot of the comet Pan-STARRS. Sigh. The weather here in Vancouver the past 3 weeks has not been clear-sky-at-dusk/comet friendly. Grrr.
However, it is a rather cool shot of a noctoluminescent clouds. The blue ghost like wispy one in the middle left'ish part of the shot. The high flyers.
Clouds that live 70 to 90 KM above the earth. Half way to low earth orbit in fact. Where the International Space Station lives.
And the trail of a aircraft heading east.
Aperture of f/4.8, exposure time 3s, ISO-800 (Noise Ninja restored), 90mm zoom.

My 20 year old Manfrotto tripod and ball-mount still work as perfect and smooth as they did when I first bought the set.
I love German engineering.

The north east tip of Kitsilano Vancouver, aka Vanier Park, goes all cobalt-blue one Friday evening.
What's up with that? I mean really.

Camelot clouds.
Clouds that you would expect to find as the backdrop to some imposing and overly articulated castle somewhere in the 12 century of England.

The westerly Seawall bend just before Third Beach in Stanley Park provides the forest survivors of many a nasty windstorm the best view in the city.
Sunset Beach - West End residents mostly. Best metal sculptures along the West End Seawall.
English Bay Beach (aka First Beach) - The cool kids, stone carvers and a bazillion tourists (on a sunny day).
Second Beach (the pool beach) - Metro Vancouver's family beach. Home to the ancient Beach Willows and the Air India memorial.
Third Beach - To paraphrase Grace, the principle's secretary in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off "Oh, it's a very popular beach Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous beach."

Winter shows little urge to give Spring a chance as it churns over English Bay Vancouver early in March.
No way man. Dark and brooding is so in.

Sirrus hanging out in the mid afternoon cloudy sunshine of last Saturday, March 2.
New day, same comfy foot stool.
Could you get me a treat since you're up?
