I like clouds. I've got a few pics on the official Cloud Appreciation Society site.
Pardon, me, just going to close this front door. Horizontal rain, hitting the back wall of the lounge room.
I confess, I confess... This morning was cloudy and I loved it. The only plus side to waking up at 0500 for work (no issues with STAYING up all night, but having to wake up at that time is simply filthy...) was that I got to witness the most glorious sunrise while I was heading to work. What started with a pale apricot shimmer turned into glorious orange and pink clouds, set against a grey and misty city. OF COURSE I had my trusty tripod with me, but was not clever enough to bring camera, so you'll just have to take my word for it
Sorry to hear that Mozzie, now there might be studies into heath issues associated with water vapour perhaps we should apply for some funding into its effects on work /life issues and develop a strategy for manipulating the situation – maybe time on the scopes at La Paz?
Here's a sketch I made yesterday of the cloudage. Took 3 hours to draw, getting the right amount of shade and contrast was a bit challenging but got there in the end.
that's no a real accurate sketch i thought it would have been a little more greyer
Two is Company :three is a cloud ,
The Cloud Spotters Guide by Gavin Pretor - Pinney comes in handy .Founder of the Cloud appreciation Society he is. www.cloudappreciationsociety.org . A few dollars gets one life membership. Images are pretty neat as well.
None the less they do get in the way of oter pursuits . Paddy
Hi, my name is Robert and I have to confess I've become a new member of clouds anonymous too. Lately I've realised how beautiful the swirling bottoms of low grey rain clouds can be, and the deep green hue of the lawns and trees in Brissy is something we longed for a few short years ago.
I really was beginning to worry something had snapped up top, so this thread is suitably therapeutic thanks David.
