Fluffy cirrus clouds 喜出望外的「毛鬆鬆」雲:捲雲

圖片
  (Translation function available at the side bar) 自去年底, 雲量和雨量一直較同期稀少, 若不是萬里晴空, 就是迷矇的春色, 令我回想起去年秋天所見過的藍天白雲, 原來已經久違了。 以下第一段寫於去年 10 月 25 日, 至今才完成這篇賞雲記的餘下部分。   又到尋雲賞雲的秋冬季節。   颱風過後, 東北季候風的推送下, 捲積雲被風「拉開」, 形成很多「 M 字」。 午後陽光照亮的白雲如雪, 邊沿毛鬆鬆, 像巨型的毛蟲, 遠在天邊,近若眼前。 2:15p.m.  2:15p.m.  不到兩分鐘, 雲已經被拉開成更多 M 字, 又像龍鬚糖一般: 2:16p.m.  繼續前行,尋找雲的盡頭。 由於太陽躲在雲後, 將雲照得發光透亮。 2:22p.m.  雲好像一條巨型的毛蟲! 2:22p.m.  雲在樹葉之間,也可以是一幅幅的圖畫: 2:26p.m. 

From viewing sunrise to the story of the prodigal son 從觀日升到浪子的故事

圖片
(Translation function available at the side bar) 秋分後兩個月,又到深秋, 再次遇見形態如天使展翼的捲雲雲絮, 與兩年前所見的畫面相似 ( 備註 1) , 但為甚麼雲同樣是從左上方斜向右下方的呢? 是否因為風向? 究竟那些像雲的直線,其實是否由飛機造成的「飛機雲」而非真正的雲呢? 第一眼所見,紅光在山後映照上空, 薄雲被染成紫紅、橙黃等顏色, 肉眼看更為細緻壯觀。 6:22 a.m.: 斜斜的飛絮,與水平線上平坦的雲層構成尖角, 與山脊線的黑色尖角也配合; 畫面和諧、是亂世中的寧謐, 鳥語清風,令人心曠神怡。 其後天色默然變化, 粉紅褪色,換上金黃。 6:38 a.m.   金黃橫紋 約十分鐘後,不知從何處吹來的捲雲,雲絮飄逸空中, 像天使展開羽白的翅膀,也是從畫面的左上方斜向右下方的。 6:45 a.m.   金光與像飛絮的捲雲 三分鐘後的照片,漸見太陽的蹤跡, 但黃白光環不能用肉眼觀看, 只能運用數碼科技去欣賞: 6:48 a.m.  黃白光環 6:50 a.m.   日現   日光越強,雲絮彷彿漸被融化,不經不覺地消減: 6:56 a.m.   旭日 7:20 a.m.   輝煌大太陽 欣賞到最後一幕, 是輝煌的大太陽,萬丈光芒, 再次令我想起《成為我異象》一曲中的歌詞: 『輝煌大太陽』。 但不知為何,也想起《聖經》提到世界末日的時候, 『......日頭變黑像毛布,滿月變紅像血; 天上的星晨墜落於地......』 ( 啟示錄 6 章: 12-13 節 ) 換言之,末日時不能再看到太陽? 抑或太陽因為某些變化而不再光照地球? 今早靈修閱讀《靈命日糧》的文章《大兒子》 ( 備註 2) , 內容提及主 耶穌 所用的比喻:「浪子回頭」。 經過了二千年,主 耶穌 至今仍未再來, 是寬容我們,像浪子的比喻中的慈父, 切切盼望小兒子悔悟後回到他的身邊。 作者指出: 『 靈修作家 盧雲 ( Henri Nouwen )回憶他在 俄羅...

光華落幕 ... Clouds lit up before the sun set

圖片
English summary  Clouds in the eastern or southern sky would lit up and become red or purple-red when the sunset sunlight shines from the western sky to the east or southeastern sky. This phenomenon only appears within  minutes before the sunset.  If the clouds are very red in color, it also indicates that it will rain on the next day. If there are circus clouds lit by this kind of last light, the scenery would even be more romantic. Cirrus clouds are sculptured by the wind. It's like a painting painted by the nature. It did rain in the evening on the following day.  今天暮色延遲合攏。 七時後, 原本萬里無雲、略帶煙霞、暗淡無光的天空, 原來隱藏了薄膜飛雲? 在夕陽餘暉映照下, 突然一瞬間呈現眼前, 像點燈一樣開始明亮起來,繼而越來越紅, 卻轉眼又漸漸褪色,收起光芒,慢慢煙沒在夜色之中。 由現身、變光、變色、變暗,全程 十五分鐘 。 暮色紅霞光,明天會下雨? 雲的形態奇特優雅,是風的塑造,大自然的畫作。 7:14 p.m. 序幕:泛起紅光 7:15 p.m. 雲現身 7:17 p.m. 更光 7:19 p.m. 更紅 7:22 p.m. 變淡 7:27 p.m. 落幕 後記: 以往也見過雲變光、變紅,但今次目睹天空中,由肉眼看是沒有雲的一刻開始,卻突然「 無中生有 」地有雲 - 陽光像變魔術般把雲變(現)出來,較完整欣賞到過程中光與色的變化,感受奇妙。 似乎雲薄時,...

Flying cirrus clouds 像飛雲的捲雲

圖片
(With English version below.  Translation function available at the side bar ) 今天早上及午後均偶遇飛雲! 雲的飛絮飄逸優雅,近期不算常見。 風將雲塑造,形態百變,有時轉眼即逝。 抬頭一望,每當偶遇特別形態的雲, 真有震撼的感覺! I saw 'flying' clouds today twice, both in the morning and in the afternoon. Such clouds have not been frequently seen recently. They are common in autumn and winter. The wind sculptured the clouds and the clouds became interesting and varied formations. These clouds sometimes dispersed quickly. Whenever I saw special cloud formations, I was often stunned!

Photo taken at 6:06 p.m. on  13.10.2017 The following ideas about ‘trial’ were explained by Pastor Charles Stanley during a sermon on a TV program that I watched many years ago.

This trial is designed to meet a specific need God sees in your life. 4. This trial is going to be for your good if you respond in faith. 5. This trial can strengthen your faith. 6.

金劍從山峯刺出, 白雲伸展如天使翼。 日光太強,肉眼難觀日, 只能先拍照再欣賞, 結果發現日出天色的變化, 雖然不是紅日海上升, 但想不到金日山脊升也美: (攝於2017 11月3日) 1. 6:23 a.m. Three bands of color: orange-red, golden-yellow, green. The golden beam looks like a sword.
