Alter Ackerweg entlang der Sumpfseewiesen und Felder von Güstrow. Der Raps steht kurz vor der Blüte. Die dunklen Wolken kommen bedrohlich näher, färben die Landschaft aber zusammen mit der tief stehenden Sonne in ein schönes warmes Licht.
Tea plantation along the Taiping Cloud Bridge trail in Chiayi, Taiwan. The highland tea fields disappear into the mist.
Numbers 9:16 (ESV) So it was always: the cloud covered it by day and the appearance of fire by night.

Taken at the top of Aiguille du Midi. You see peaks of the Mont Blanc Massif poking through the clouds.
The American White Pelican, frequently spoken of as "THE CLOUD DANCER” representing their graceful, soaring flight in groups, often moving together in the sky. The White Pelican is a masterpiece of natural avionic architecture, a creature of stark, snowy elegance and of prehistoric size. On the water, it sits high and buoyant like a regal white galleon. In the air, it transforms into a master of the thermals with its massive 9-foot wingspan tipped with ink-black flight feathers that only reveal themselves in motion.
Unlike its rugged, salt-sprayed cousin the Brown Pelican, the White Pelican possesses a luminous, pristine plumage that seems to glow even on overcast days. It's most striking feature is the massive tangerine-orange bill, which during the breeding season, develops a strange keratinous horn on the upper ridge...a temporary crown that gives the bird a mythical, archaic appearance.
On the water they dip their pouched bills to scoop up fish, or tip-up like an oversized dabbling duck. Sometimes, groups of pelicans work together to herd fish into the shallows for easy feeding. Look for them on inland lakes in summer and near coastlines in winter.
When they move, they do so with a quiet, synchronized grace. Watching a flock circling and soaring in a tight rising column high above the California landscape is a hypnotic experience, as the CLOUD DANCERS alternate between brilliant white to sudden black with every tilt of their black tipped wings against the deep blue sky.

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

The Cliffs of Moher are often crowded or in some cases shrouded in fog and clouds. Well, that was exactly the case earlier this day, but fortunately the clouds and crowds cleared late in the day for a gorgeous evening sunset. You can still see the low clouds lingering on the ocean.

I have been looking at clouds over the past few days to build up a library of them. I started to take pictures just of clouds and this one looked rather drammatic, even more so after I had a play with it in photoshop. I don't do a great deal manipulations like this, but it certainly is dramatic.
