Clouds That Look Like Things

Spotting forms in clouds is a beautiful way to complete a idle mid-day. There's even a community devoted to reasoning finding. It’s known as the Cloud Gratitude Society, established by Gavin Pretor-Pinney to nurture knowing and admiration of clouds, and to combat “blue sky thinking”.

A obvious red sky has always been associated with excellent, satisfied climate – the best summer’s day, while dark air are considered as a metaphor for tragedy. Nothing could be more gloomy, it seems, than to have ‘a reasoning on the horizon’. Gavin Pretor-Pinney determined that this has to quit. “Someone needs to take a position up for the clouds”, he says. So in 2004, he began the Cloud Gratitude Society and few several weeks later released a web page. Individuals sent in their reasoning picture, which he put up on the selection webpages for others to look at. The beginning flow of distribution soon grown to a bittorrent. These days, it has over 29,000 associates globally from 83+ different nations, and many a large number of awesome pictures.

Below is a selection of some of the most unusual reasoning structures.
