Stereoscopy Day 2026

 

Now, even more stereo!

 

June 21st is "Stereoscopy Day".  On that day in 1838, Sir Charles Wheatstone presented his reflecting stereoscope to the Royal Society of London and demonstrated his theory of binocular vision.  More info about this event, the fifth, is at the Stereoscopy Day site https://stereoscopyday.wordpress.com/ or #StereoscopyDay 

 

Let's start the celebration right now!   Presented is a relaxed view 3d stereogram of clouds at different levels:

You can view my 3d / stereogram / stereograph / stereoscopic images by selecting one of these labels.  These links each should produce the same image results, as I have been pretty good about labeling:

Dark rays of light

 

Storm to come

 

On a sunny afternoon, spectacular crepuscular rays emanate from dark clouds, foreshadowing the developing hailstorm.

The clouds from a distant tropical storm do not prevent a sun dog and halo from being seen through their haze.

Corn clouds

Stormy Wednesday

Clouds to the West

Storm to the South

Being on a flat plateau that overlooks a flat landscape allows one to see clouds and storms off in the distance.

As the clouds move by, sun and shadow create different moods in the hay field waiting to be cut.

A Break During the Storm

A Break During Storm

This break in the clouds, with the sun and sky so bright after all the darkness and rain, was impressive.  Unfortunately, the camera's autofocus decided that the rain droplets on the glass were much more important.
