“I've looked at clouds from both sides now. From up and down, and still somehow....It's cloud illusions I recall....I really don't know clouds at all.”
With Joni Mitchell's song in mind, what are cloud illusions? Well as a kid (and my kids do it today) I could see shapes and things in the clouds. Sometimes it was a turtle. Sometimes a lion. Sometimes a dragon. They became whatever the imagination wanted.
There's probably not much more relaxing than laying in a hammock and watching the clouds roll by.
So this week's challenge is to photograph clouds. Any kind of clouds. Storm clouds, rain clouds, sunny day clouds, sunset/sunrise clouds. Show us your cloud photos.
If you have any questions please feel free to post them or email me. I'm here to help.
You have from*Friday Apr 30th*to*Thursday May 14th*to submit your entries for this challenge. Below are some examples to get the creative juices flowing.
