#2320 "Parry Archipelago Pines Granite and Cirrus"

The nature of the Georgian Bay Archipelago is unique. The wind flagged pines and the granite ledges are everywhere. I painted my share of those.

Langmuir Streets in a Fluid

The weather is also intriguing. The effects of the inland seas on weather are many and actually fill several meteorological textbooks. These Langmuir streets of cirrus revealed the strong westerly winds aloft. There were some gravity wave signatures embedded within those bands of cirrus and those confirmed the wind direction. A band of higher level deformation zone cirrus had already passed by to the east. These winds were part of the warm conveyor belt that was directing more moisture toward Parry Sound. Another autumn storm was on the way.
