Guess who has a lot of time on her hands!
Cirrocumulus
clouds. This picture is upside-down, but it was taken in mid-afternoon
in my front yard.
I forget where
this one came from. But it's a cumulonimbus cloud partially obscured by
cumulus.
Cumulonimbus
cloud, Quebec City. Too bad about the crappy scanning job.
Hong Kong
skyline. Cumulus clouds in background. No, the sky isn't really purple
there. It's just bad film.
Cumulonimbus
cloud over HK apartment block, Kowloon. Actually, in this case, the sky
really was purple. That was scary.
Hong Kong
taxi ring outside train station. The cumulus clouds look to me like chicken
balls (which you actually never see out there. Chicken balls, I mean. That's
purely a Canadian invention. Out there, it's beef balls. You don't wanna
know. All I shall reveal is, "DON'T EAT THE HOTPOT".)
Sunset on
Malpeque Bay, Prince Edward Island. Helluvacool.
The dark clouds
in the top right corner are the last gasp of a massive thunderstorm that
swept through the area just about an hour before this was taken, and squashed
our tent.
Sort of a
real Ontario oddity, there. One little cumulus cloud in the middle of this
mass of stratus. I remember it being really cold the day I took that one,
and kinda wet out. But I went and stood in the middle of the road and took
this picture, brave (or stupid or desperate) me.
Some cirrus
clouds at sunset. I think this one is another Ontario original.
This is the
view from my front yard!
Hehe. Cumulus
at sunset.
Well, the
scanner did this one no justice, but it's the same sunset as above. Yes,
my house used to look out on a field, but now they're building some warehouses
there, so I think this is probably one of the last of these crazy sunsets
I'll be able to photograph! <pout>
So why clouds? Mostly because they are one of the only permanent things in this crazy, mixed-up, constantly changing world. They have a lot more to offer than just rain and snow and the occasional tornado, if you just take the time to notice them. And even though the weather itself may change, there's nothing more comforting than knowing that, in this whole big, wide, confusing galaxy. . . it's still always the same piece of sky above you.
