Thank goodness someone had the nerve to post a twist on a title -- I'll be posting a few as out-takes after the voting, but I ended up going with a "straight" interpretation myself.

Good luck! Someone seems to have opened the drain on the humor reservoir around here lately ...

Blue And White

I like playing around with the colors in sky shots, but this looks pretty close to a straight inversion, which is not usually the best color combo in my opinion. I might be a teensy bit oversharp too, but I often like things with less sharpening than other folks.

The combination of cloud types, with the cumulus right down by the water makes a strong abstract of three major shapes, with a dynamic aspect accentuated by the streaky clouds.

I think it's an interesting "digital negative" (in the figurative sense) I personally would play around with more, but could be exactly what you want too.

When I first read the additional info and saw "Brisbane" I thought, "don't you mean Colma?" Then I noted your actual location in the antipodes (I've waited a long tome to use that in a sentence!).

There is a US National military cemetery in Colma, California which is right next to Brisbane, California. In addition, a search of the Yellow Pages for "cemetery" in Colma will return 29 entries -- hence its informal moniker of "City Of The Dead."

Cool job -- I just tried taking a time-lapse of a really cool cloud yesterday, but I think the highlights are too blown out to be useful. Although, maybe as a test it would work.

Thanks! And all you other commenters picked up some "helpful" ticks since this was from before the institution of that feature and I hadn't been back to see it.

Good idea ... I have some stuff like that but didn't think to use it for this.

Interesting that I just heard this week that Voyager I has (or is about to) crossed the point demarcating the Sun's sphere of influence, marking humankind's first official incursion into interstellar space. So good of you to take the time to travel out there and document it for us.
