I was watching Nationwide a couple of weeks ago and they were talking to a man who is obsessed with taking pictures of clouds that has different shapes like animal's. So the other day I was sitting on a bus on the way home from work it was a nice day with blue skies and some white fluffy clouds that had some amazing shapes…

So the other day I was sitting on a bus on the way home from work it was a nice day with blue skies and some white fluffy clouds that had some amazing shapes like a rabbit, lion and a what I think was a bear. So have you ever taken that few seconds out from your busy schedule to admire the amazing shape clouds have and if so why not post if what shapes you have seen and we can see if anyone has seen anything unusall.

Jaysus it's years since I've just lay on the grass and looked up to the clouds. So relaxing.

I'm sure you would see some unusual shapes without having to look at the clouds if you took acid.

Great hobby. Not enough of it. Looking up at night is good too. Moonbathing. When you think about it, probably the vast majority of our ancestors escapism hobby was looking up at the sky and seeing what shapes and scenarios could be made out of what they saw. What else was there to do for thousands of years. Constellations with stars and all that. They probably had something similar for looking at clouds too.
Very cool thread. Ima go do more of it.

I remember when I was a young lad and we didn't have all the technology we have today myself and my friends would lie in the fields on a Summer's day with blue skies and fluffy clouds trying to figure out what shapes we have seen. We would spent hours doing it and it was great craic.

I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Those Cumulus clouds and their shapes have inspired many writers, including myself at one time!

I've found April and September to be the best months for cloud shapes.
