You don’t need to plan an exotic trip to find creative inspiration. Just look up, says Gavin Pretor-Pinney, founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society. As he shares charming photos of nature’s finest aerial architecture, Pretor-Pinney calls for us all to take a step off the digital treadmill, lie back and admire the beauty in the sky above.

I find clouds hold more than Magic. Wow what colour. Always we have a different view right above our heads. Wonderful!
Enjoy your weekend both of you 🙂

Outstanding 🙂 What would our world be without clouds; what would we be? And, to borrow from Joanie Mitchell, aren’t we living in a wondrous time with our fancy ways to ‘look at clouds from both sides’, literally and metaphorically.

Yes, as Gavin Pretor-Pinney so eloquently demonstrated, clouds do lend themselves to the ‘meaning of life’ in many ways. Thanks, Wen, for that comment.

This is great Paul! I tried to post a comment on your ‘Sunday Pictures’ post (which is a great idea for a smile at the weekend) but it wouldn’t let me – hoping I have more luck here! 🙂

That’s strange. Let me see if I can work that out when I’m in front of my PC later on.

There is a place on Hilly Fields in Colchester where there is a clear view of the setting sun that lights up the clouds in dramatic colour.

Yes, I seem to recall that Colchester has a number of good vantage points.
