The changing forms and colours of clouds we see in the sky, all through the year, elicit a different emotional response every single time
It won’t be an oxymoron to say that the changing forms and colours of clouds we see in the sky, all through the year, elicit a different emotional response every single time. From clusters of sparkling white, cotton-like puffs that are usually found playing hide-n-seek with the bright, sun-lit skies post a shower, and are a spectator’s delight; to the curly cirrus that appear calm but are likely to lead to a storm; to that ash-grey, featureless overcast which obscures your vision and may inspire sorrow; to the dark and forbidding raincloud...
No wonder, clouds have typically found profuse space in popular literature and creative arts, chiefly painting, poetry and drama. But a simple and straightforward photograph alone could be just as dramatic and evocative. Such is the effect clouds have on us.
