The Dogmother Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 This site has to be seen to be believed http://pic1.funtigo.com/valuca/?g=25544746&cr=1 I don't think that they've been Photoshopped either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 That's waht I though and I got Phil to look at them for any electronic jiggery-pokery and he doesn't think they've been doctored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 That's a brilliant link Clare. I got it with the the innocent newsletter, and sat there for ages! They have to be the best cloud photos I have ever seen. I love cloud formations and have a nice book called The Skywatchers Handbook by Colin A Ronan (published in 1985), which is a sort of entry level book for interested (and intelligent) children. It explains the technical stuff behind cloud formation, all the symbols used for each cloud, making weather stations etc. Not sure whether it is still available, but it comes in a waterproof blue cover and the ISBN no is 0 - 552 - 99146 - 5.

theherd123 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Brilliant website Clare! I love cloud busting when i get the chance - you know where you look at some clouds and spot shapes & faces etc in them? I was on holiday with my friend Gill a couple of years ago, sat on a beautiful Caribbean beach cloud busting for hours - so relaxing & funny!

Linda Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Wow they're quite spectacular, aren't they! I love clouds. I did encounter a lot of incredulous rolling eyes when I told my nearest and dearest I was interested in joining The Cloud Appreciation Society! www.cloudappreciationsociety.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 some of those formations are simply awesome! I really like the round rainbow one but the waves are quite cool too! Thanks Claret A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 That's exactly where I got it from Claire - all pretence at work ceased as I looked through the site. Phil's really into weather and space things - he loved it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Oh yes, white fluffy clouds scudding around a bright blue sky whilst I relax on the grass watching them. Bliss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did encounter a lot of incredulous rolling eyes when I told my nearest and dearest I was interested in joining The Cloud Appreciation Society! www.cloudappreciationsociety.com Oh I must have a good look at that site Linda! I have a nice story about clouds. I used to work on the 16th floor of an office block in a south facing office. One day it was really dense fog outside, but when I opened the office door, light streamed through the doorway. I was confused until I realised the cloudy fog was thick right to the 15th floor, and looked so solid as if you could stand on it The tops of all the tall buildings in the area were poking through the clouds like mountain tops, and the lovely golden rays of sun were skimming along the bumps on top of the layer of fog. It was magical and I hope I never forget it! Just wish I had a camera, it was awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
