GET YOUR HEAD

IN THE CLOUDS
Take a step back from the
drudgery of down-to-earth living
and become aware of the artistry
and science of the atmosphere.

 Clouds have always been the mother
nature’s most exquisite piece of beauty;
with the sun’s dynamic & at times light-
hearted shine accompanying, it stimulates
in us an extreme sense of devotion &
gratitude towards its Creator; clouds at sky
with their fluffy, snow white, almost
untouchable entity; slowly drifting off to
kiss the heavens always make me wonder
about their hidden spiritual & mystical
realities. At evenings; sunsets with a
playful yellow or a magical deep orange
with hints of the shade red have never
failed to inspire me and invigorate my
spirit.
 How do clouds form?
Clouds form when moist air
cools enough for water vapor to
condense into droplets or ice
crystals. The height at which this
happens depends on the humidity
and the rate at which temperature
drops with elevation (distance from
the ground).

A "mackerel sky" adds to a striking sunset scene in Grimsby, Lincolnshire,
England.
 San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge appears to float on a sea of
surrounding clouds. Such low-level clouds, called stratus clouds, occur
below 6,500 feet and often bring rain or snow.
 Cumulonimbus clouds are the highest of all clouds. Their distinctive anvil-top
shapes occur because of the high lateral winds encountered at such altitudes.
Clouds that touch the ground are known as fog
 The beauty of a Tassajara, California, sunset is enhanced by towering
cumulonimbus clouds. These tallest of all clouds often produce violent storms of
rain, thunder, lightning, hail, and high winds.
The bright lights of Tucson, Arizona, are more than matched by a flash of
lightning far above the city skyline. The scene shows a classic
cumulonimbus cloud formation.
Colorful clouds and calm water create a striking sunset scene for canoeists on
Winisk River in Ontario, Canada. A single cloud may hold billions of pounds of
water— but not all clouds bring rain.
A horizontal bank of cloud cover enhances an aerial view of Crater Lake,
Oregon. Clouds appear white because they reflect sunlight.
 Light, fluffy clouds stretch across the broad sky of South Africa's Kalahari
Desert. Most clouds are produced by the upward motion of air, which may be
caused by weather or local topography.
