Strangest cloud formation I've ever seen (close-up crop detail of the dragon head)

This is a close-up of the head of a very peculiar cloud formation. Just seen and photographed in the morning from my place. This cloud formation has such an amazing Pareidolic value to me. It looks like composed by a myriad of fluffy thin brush strokes, all very tight and displayed horizontally. The cloud (or whatever else it is) looks like a fantasy dragoon to me, reminding me to the good white giant flying dragoon of the movie " Never ending story ".
The black spot on the left, looking like a sort of bat wing, is a nearby pine tree in the foreground.

Falkor! The strangest cloud formation I've ever seen. Zoom in for details.

Just seen and photographed in the morning from my place. This cloud formation has such an amazing Pareidolic value to me. It looks like composed by a myriad of fluffy thin brush strokes, all very tight and displayed horizontally. The cloud (or whatever else it is) looks like a fantasy dragoon to me, recalling the good white giant flying dragon of the movie " Never ending story ".
There's an air trail crossing it. See previous up-load for a close-up detail of the head part.
Cumulus white clouds floating or a condensation cloud due to the trail of an airplane?
This formation was slightly moving at the wind and modifying it's appearance and colour during the sunrise.
I've taken few more shots of this phenomenon that I might post in the future in my PAREIDOLIA Album .

Relaxing on the bed and sleeping together

The Friendship with birds may change a life into a better one. It's sufficient to learn from them: unconditional friendship, mutual help, generosity, adaptability, empathy, tenderness...And a huge dosis of sympathy.

A curiosity featured for cameras collectors:

This is NOT a toy but, instead, a very small, fantastic highly sought after and rare collectable Italian camera, it's the 'NESA' by Fotonesa, the famous subminiature spy camera made in Milan by G. P. M. (Giuseppe Pozzoli Milano) between 1934 and 1945. This is the version made in bakelite "Black". It used small roll film of 12 poses, negative size around 20x20mm, the lens is a Frontal Periscop 31 mm F: 8. 8. The size of the camera are around 57x57x33mm, smaller than a box of matches. The obturator shutter has 2 speeds, I & T.
A very scarce exemplar that can be found in the market on specialty auctions once every few years. Proudly part of my private ancient and vintage Cameras Collection.

Fantastica e molto rara spy mini-sub camera in bakelite nera, altamente da collezione, la 'NESA' di Fotonesa prodotta in Italia a Milano tra il 1934 e il 1945 da Giuseppe Pozzoli G.P.M . Produce negativi 20x20mm su uno speciale roll film. L'otturatore scatta a due velocità I + T velocità. L'ottica un Frontar Periscop F: 8. 8. lenti 8.8/31mm. Se ne può trovare una ogni in un raggio di ricerca di alcuni anni, solitamente in aste specializzate. Il valore di stima è per veri appassionati e intenditori del genere.

Pareidolia image of a driftwood log, beached and bleached by the sea water, looking like a little boat or a fishing vessel with sail,
or even an ancestral animal skull. Photographed last summer on a sandy seashore of the Adriatic Sea.

Aeolus? Wind blowing bearded head...Pareidolia cloud

A PAREIDOLIA in the sky where a cloud looking like a bearded man (see previous post), assumed more and more very recognizable human traits. In this shot the man looks like to blow smoke or wind, like Aeolus, God of the wind.

Sad baby fungi bitten by Ups & Backs

Sad  baby fungi bitten

Sad fungi because bitten, possibly by a squirrel or even a little wild boar. (They recently are populating many areas of the countryside fastly multiplying). I recently saw a whole litter of 4 or 5 baby wild pigs willing to eat the persimmons fallen from my tree in the backyard, not kidding. They were so sweet, I could photograph two but they moved so fast that in the photo it sees two blurry brown somethings, with light beige stripes running.
The indentation on the white fungi itself look like an engraved face to me
An occasional autumnal Pareidolia that I found very close to a forest. I was on my knees with no tripod.

Yummy?

A strange light beige mold at the foot of a tree trunk, which looks like a face of an odd spongy creature (SpongeBob? Glaring at me 👀)
with a large tongue (a possible polypore mushroom) or maybe it is enjoying a brownie.

The Mystic Tree, holding Saint Sebastian ... (if you ZOOM IN)

For my beloved Group PAREIDOLIA celebrating its 20th Birthday 🎂 !
The Ghost Mystic Tree, waving its arms in the sky. Actually hiding a second most interesting Pareidolia...
If you zoom in, find a human figure leaning against the tree trunk, evoking, to me at least, the Martyr Saint Sebastian,
hit by the first arrow. So terrible.
Eventually, few days later, the dead trunk just lost its arms due to heavy wind and rainfalls. Ok, he was gone, sowieso.

Creature of the Abyss. Zoom in to see face & details

Adriatic Sea, Italy
A Pareidolic Creature of the Abyss (captured in profile),recalling the mythological Medusa,resurfaced at sunset from the sea by low tide.
A huge trunk with its roots beached after a long journey and returned to the view in a new visual formula :-)

I slightly overexposed my photo, this enlightened the people on the right hand side to disappear and to the sort of head
to be lighted enough to recognize its features notwithstanding the face part of the 'creature' was in total shadow.
The yellow hues to the left are the last rays before the sun completely set.

Love Pareidolia on the shoal.

Heart-shaped sand islet. Spotted on a sea shoal during a low tide at sunset. Like a planet of Love <3
If you also happen to recognize in your photos 'other things' that don't really exist, see the Group PAREIDOLIA !

In the Adriatic Sea, the sun sets opposite from the sea, colouring gold the West side and frequently living some more
gentle pink hues in the sky and clouds on the East.
The sky and sea to the East reflect the rosy tones just before twilight.

[Deep Waters] Underwater Camelias. ZOOM in Candlelit Light Painting Still Life by #WhiteANGEL . #LimitEdition

Candlelit Light Painting Still Life
Painted with the light of a flame by handhandling and moving a candle.
Shot with a long exposure in darkness, subject illuminated just by candlelight.
(Some still candles can be seen, reflected on the glass bowl which has been backlighted with another candle).
The Camelias, just fallen from the plant of a neighbour, have been submerged in tap water, those on top of the glass bowl, are wet.
This is one of my four works that I've used to compose my work 'Inferno Quattro' ( visible at this link: [Dissection] )

Inferno Quattro [Dissection]. Abstract painting by #WhiteANGEL by White☨ANGEL

Inferno Quattro [Dissection]. Abstract painting by #WhiteANGEL

I believe, hell is where there is a flaw (i.e. a section) a space through which evil can enter. Therefore, between the interstitial fences
(or cage spaces)💡, I added more material, didn't let them empty to not let it in ;-) With a 'dissection', I try to fill the empty spaces.

For this Abstract, I applied my personally conceived Light Painting by Candlelight technique, photographing some Camelia flowers underwater in darkness, painting them with the light of a candle and, from 4 different shots, I made my creativity fly.
I used several multiple long exposures, then I begun to digitally paint, trying to obtain some interesting bas-relief+3D effects.
In the end, I could not choose, so I decided to make an even more engaging Abstract work by using portions of all my 4 works.
I don't very much like the colour red, but this was the main colour due to the Camelias of a fire red!
Profondo Rosso, the famous movie by Dario Argento, the Inferno of the magistral Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri...
This is Inferno Four, enjoy the hot mood 😉

💡Big thanks to my new Friend T.rubblemaker, he he, who helped me focus and nail my Concept with his kind critique:
"Interference patterns of lava flow and fire, trapped behind, or maybe protected by the bars of a cage. Melting gold bullion
and cool gray stone are the highlights".


Be confident hell is very icy cold, at least for how I imagine it, so, this Inferno is maybe a limbo ? :-)

'Complexity and elegance of the Iris flower' (Looking inside a Bearded Iris III). Ph. by #WhiteANGEL

This variety of Iris flowers have upright petals called "standards" and cascading petals called "falls". Running down the center of each fall is a “beard” that resembles a flame or even a furry caterpillar.
Besides the 3 sort of beards, I find very interesting & peculiar the zebra patterns & the texture of the petals, especially the 3 'falls' ones, looking like leather or even shantung silk. The bright yellow petals in the very centre reassemble golden tongues or, again, vivid flames of a flickering candle. Each of those inner petals -actually lobes- hosts and protects a single stamen.

Colours are yellow, some orange, a wine coloured optical animalier pattern, similar to zebra & lots of brown/burgundy tones.
Super Macro photographed out-door in natural light (with my Fujinon 24/624 'telescopic' + hyper Macro lens).
I hope I could render its intricated details. More in my Album in progress 'Callas, Iris & Amaryllis studies'

'Complexity and elegance of the Iris flower'. (Looking inside a Bearded Iris II). Ph. by #WhiteANGEL

This diptych shows a variety of Bearded Iris,
grown in my garden for the very first time, that is more in the brown/burgundy/wine colours with great touches of deep yellow.

Looking inside this Iris flower
Left: it can be seen two of its three cascading petals called "falls" and two of its 3 beards (centre and left) as well as all the 3 upright petals called "standards", plus one of the 3 central lobes (sort of yellow flames) which host and protect one stamen each.
Right: another detail of this bearded Iris that could not fit in the framing of the left macro. Here, one of its three cascading petals called "falls" and its beard.
