Description
I wanted to do another skyscape on the heavy duty canvas panels that I had made. The other similar panels were mostly filled with landscapes and I wanted to continue with that theme.
This skyscape from 8:25 pm on Friday May 6th, 2022 was a classic deformation zone. The knife edge of clearing in the northwestern sky revealed my favourite meteorological conceptual model. The deck of cirrostratus on the moist side of the deformation zone was crossed by multiple trains of gravity waves rippling in the warm, stable layer of the atmospheric ocean. I have written about and painted these processes for most of my career. Those lines in the sky say so much about the weather.
On this particular spring evening those clouds spoke of a low pressure area and rain passing to the southeast of my Singleton Sanctuary. The skies would clear completely overnight as the deformation zone followed the low. Dew would form on the grass that I kept cut for the blue birds and robins that were feasting on the exposed insects. I left the dandelions and other early spring flowers untouched for the bees.
The evening, cool drainage wind funnelling down Lyndhurst Creek was rippling the west basin of the lake. As a result, the water adjacent to the far shoreline was reflecting the lighter, blue sky instead of the dark, forested shore. The diminishing waves in the eastern basin of Singleton were catching the overhead cirrostratus. Elsewhere the calm waters protected from the breeze, mirrored the quiet, spring Singleton forest.
There was a light on at the campground to mark the start of another season.
