Cloud Watching

One of my great pleasures is watching clouds. Much as I like a clear blue sky, I especially love a blue sky with majestic domes of cumulo-nimbus, or just small fluffy white clouds floating peacefully along in a soft breeze: very calming, with an uplifting feeling of lightness and change. Grey clouds, storm clouds too, and colourful sunsets, all have their interest. We often take such wonderful free spectacles for granted.

Here's a little selection of photos, paintings and film stills, including one from the film Ten Skies by James Benning, though he would surely admit seeing the real thing instead of on film is better.
