"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."
— Dwight D. Eisenhower
Looking at the world in early 2013 its hard not to see the clouds of war gathering or already raging across our blue planet...

20070623n 146 - Hubby and I observed these clouds over Winnipeg, Manitoba about 20 miles from the Tornado that was happening at the same time in Elie, Manitoba. The sky was incredible that evening!
♫♪ Take my heart - Soko ♫♪
...If I take your heart, I will cherish it every day
If I take your heart, I will heal these old wounds
If I take your heart, it's to make it happy
If I take your heart, it's forever close to mine...
Dear contacts, please take time to read this:
As He passed through Galilee into Samaria, Jesus made His way toward Jerusalem and the Cross (Luke 17). Coming to a small village, He encountered a group of lepers, nine Jews and a Samaritan, keeping their distance as they called to Him. Their cry must have been pitiful, for leprosy also damages vocal chords, making clear speech impossible.
"Go, show yourselves to the priests," Jesus said. He didn't heal them at once… rather, He sent them to the priests in Jerusalem who were the only ones charged to pronounce them as cured. The ten started off by faith… and as they walked along, they noticed their diseased lesions were being healed. That's when the Samaritan stopped and said, "I'm going back to thank Him."
We don't know why this leper had a different attitude than the others, though he obviously recognized blessings as a gift from God. It's a life-attitude: "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1st Thessalonians 5:18).
Thankful people see blessings amidst burdens. As does the sun, indifferent of clouds, blessings shine on and eventually break through.
Thursday here in America is Thanksgiving Day. Though many see no more to be thankful for at this time other than a day off and a good meal, there are still those given to that statement in 1st Thessalonians. On the first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims had many blessings to be thankful for, but their thanksgiving prayer was to praise God from whom all blessings flow, and for His providence that brought them through so rough a time.
I’ve had the blessing of family and friends that care for me enough to request my company on that day. I’ll make rounds for sure. As for my contacts here on Flickr, you have given me the blessing to see the beauty of this world through your eyes. Over the next couple of days, my concentration here will be to pull up some favorites from your astounding collections… take the time to look through the marvelous work of my contacts in "favorites" and offer them a kind word or two… see the sun, indifferent of clouds and be a blessing to others. Find something to be thankful for today and give thanks. God bless you all! Mike
Encore une belle formation nuageuse qui s'approche par l'Atlantique et qui contourne gentiment Mimizan Plage, les nuages buttent sur la côte et se fondent les uns dans les autres.

Nice strange clouds... an alien presence ?

You may think this is related to American politics but I can't possibly comment.
I got a little bored on my flight from Phoenix to San Francisco, so I pulled out my camera when there was some interesting things to shoot. The texture of the clouds was pretty amazing
A still from a lovely sunset timelapse I shot a few days ago. This was one of those times where I noticed the clouds were turning yellow and looking like they were going to produce a great sunset, so I grabbed my gear and rushed out the door to try and catch the sunset with a decent scene in the foreground. I didn't make it very far from home before I had to set up the timelapse so I didn't miss the show. Check out the next photo to see the time stack I made from this timelapse.
This one from a while ago - A beautiful cap (or pileus cloud) on a rapidly forming CB
These interesting phenomena indicate that the cloud just beneath it is growing very rapidly and is incredibly unstable. They indicate that the cloud is soon likely to form into a cumulonimbus cloud.
These can also form atop volcanic ash clouds as can be seen by this interesting picture upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a0/Sarychev_peak_erup...
