Rarely does a perfect blue sky or a flat gray one render great landscapes. And sometimes the clouds themselves are enough to create the image. These three photos I made over the weekend. The first shot was made about 1030 pm when I was out hoping for the aurora to pop out. And though the lights didn&#8217;t make an appearance these high elevation clouds were a subject onto themselves. They were illuminated by the distant city lights and provide an interesting texture to what would otherwise be a rather bland image. The second to shots were made on Sunday about mid-day. Amy was peering out the window and pointed out the strange, wave-like clouds to me. I admired them for a second, but when she said, &#8220;those could make an interesting photo&#8221;, I agreed, put on my coat and stepped outside. Sometimes you need to have someone who will just give you a little push. Thanks Amy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1078\" title=\"Fairbanks-AK-night-clouds-winter.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-1.jpg?resize=700%2C467\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-1.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-3.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1080\" title=\"Fairbanks-Alaska-winter-clouds-1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-3.jpg?resize=700%2C467\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-3.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-3.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1079\" title=\"Fairbanks-AK-winter-clouds.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-2.jpg?resize=667%2C1000\" alt=\"\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-2.jpg?w=667&amp;ssl=1 667w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wildimagephoto.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ABR-SUWA-DWS-2.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clouds are unquestionably an important part of landscape photography.
