“Transillumination through the corolla of Ipomoea indica: sunlight diffusing across anthocyanin-rich petal tissue reveals the central gynoecium in radiant silhouette. A natural showcase of floral translucency and pigment refractivity.”

The intense buzzing is what caught my attention first, not the color.

Spectral Residue: Mercury Vapor Decay.

An obsolete mercury vapor bulb in a broken street light. The arc tube emits raw spectral light: a pale blue-green glow caused by ionized mercury vapor radiating UV, filtered through phosphor and glass.

Photograph of a broken street lamp taken from directly underneath. The light is glowing green, illuminating the remaining frosted glass housing arounf the edges. The angle makes it look like HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey, only green instead of red. The sky is grey with a blanket of clouds. A vignette effect darkens the corners.

Orographic Lenticular Atmospheric Wave Formation. Stationary lens-shaped clouds formed by laminar airflow oscillating over terrain-induced standing waves. Resulting condensation at wave crests produces stratified altocumulus lenticularis structures, often mistaken for unidentified aerial phenomena due to their symmetry and persistence.

Next time I need a gimbal or tripod. Trying to hold it still long enough for this short little time lapse was much harder than it should have been.

Rayleigh–Tyndall Effect.

Finally got a little rain (and lightning!) and the sunset did not disappoint.

#photography #sunset #goldenhour #cloudscape #blueskyphoto #skyphotography #skylovers #atmosphericoptics
A dramatic sunset sky filled with stratocumulus and cirrus clouds in shades of deep red, orange, gray, and blue. The colors transition from intense reds and oranges near the top to softer yellows and grays near the horizon. The vivid cloud formations and rich color gradient create a visually striking backdrop for the text. RAYLEIGH TYNDELL EFFECT.

Dispersion.

#photography #lightplay #artistsofbluesky #colorstudy #foundlight #opticsinnature
A vivid light spectrum projected onto a textured wall surface, displaying a wavy gradient of colors from violet to red. The pattern suggests light dispersion through a prism or similar medium, with the wall texture enhancing the visual depth and vibrancy of the colors.

Photograph of a surreal humanoid sculpture inspired by an untitled painting by Kurt Cobain. The figure is elongated and skeletal, with a textured white surface and distorted anatomy. It sits in a dimly lit space bathed in deep blue and purple hues, with horizontal slats casting striped shadows across its form, creating a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere.
