About A cloud is a visible mass of droplets or frozen crystals floating in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body. A cloud is also a visible mass attracted by gravity (clouds can also occur as masses of material in interstellar space, where they are called interstellar clouds and nebulae.) The branch of meteorology in which clouds are studied is nephology.

On Earth the condensing substance is typically water vapor, which forms small droplets or ice crystals, typically 0.01 mm in diameter. When surrounded by billions of other droplets or crystals they become visible as clouds. Dense deep clouds exhibit a high reflectance (70% to 95%) throughout the visible range of wavelengths: they thus appear white, at least from the top. Cloud droplets tend to scatter light efficiently, so that the intensity of the solar radiation decreases with depth into the gases, hence the gray or even sometimes dark appearance of the clouds at their base. Thin clouds may appear to have acquired the color of their environment or background, and clouds illuminated by non-white light, such as during sunrise or sunset, may be colored accordingly. In the near-infrared range, clouds would appear darker because the water that constitutes the cloud droplets strongly absorbs solar radiation at those wavelengths.


Clouds can cast shadows
Clouds and cloud bow above PacificClouds are divided into two general categories: layered and convective. These are named stratus clouds (or stratiform, the Latin stratus means "layer") and cumulus clouds (or cumuliform; cumulus means "piled up"). These two cloud types are divided into four more groups that distinguish the cloud's altitude. Clouds are classified by the cloud base height, not the cloud top. This system was proposed by Luke Howard in 1802 in a presentation to the Askesian Society.

Hoping for a sunny day:)) xxJen

Thank you so much my dear Riny,
clouds are a big issue for photography,

year in a different way, there is quite some study
about it..:)) Hele fijne avond, dikke kus, Jenxx

Happy you do agree with my little angle cloud and the stick, you really felt what I wanted to tell with this, I just couldnt take it away!
And indeed flying is wonderful seeing all these different skies, above the clouds, looking sunrise and sunsets, its a pity most flights are at night, at least for Africa!
Yes, I did read your email my dear, will respond on that, it reminds me of the shots I tried to make in Kenya, where people got really angry, specially the Masai!!
Since then I really take care making portraits:)
Its one of the reasons I am not good at it either,
maybe one day...... My experience was great in Lesotho, not many tourists there and he was liking it after all, lucky me..:)))
Big hugs my dear, hoping you will get over it, they might have been illegal as you supposed,
be well, Jenxx

Thank you my dear friend, its amazing how one can
be so hypnotized by skies and clouds, staring up
there was just so great, Arfican skies make me
happy and wanting to sleep outside, which I did:))
It would be nice to loo at the sky at night at the same time, knowing there are people who care..
Wishing you a wonderful evening!
Big hugs and kiss, Jenxx

Well I have been thinking about it but it was like Paul said, a piece of reality just there and it would damage the wing.....
Happy enough they all are not flying around yet, maybe just to keep an eye on you and me..:)))
Wishing you good morning when waking up, big hugs and kiss, Jenxx

My sweet friend, yes this was at the wine department, not being drunk I saw this big cloud, somehow the skies are different there...don't you think so?
Hoping you will show some nice skies too from NZ, would be great, have never been there, just Australia when I was young:)
Heel veel liefs en kusjes, fijne avond en slaap lekker!! Jenxx

Nice pattern Jen,
I like the subtle tree stick you left as reference. Fun how you looked at it and did not take it out. As clouds so easily get us dreaming away, the stick keeps us a bit with both feet on the ground. As often clouds are beatifully related to landscape and atmosphere, also consider be close to the clouds while observing them from their tops and in profile as sitting in a plane. I feel always great, close to nature, a little bit like a free bird to observe clouds in this way.
have a nice day Jen and ... read my email about my experience yesterday nearly lynched by angry women, making a shot of them in narrow street in Paris. They forced me to delete "their" picture. This as discussed some days ago wondering about your experience with the man sitting near a Volvo Deluxe.

Hey my dear irl :)

Perfect cloudy sky with perfect title....and here is one fine quote for you (about clouds:)) Hope you will like it:)

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Rabindranath Tagore
