We look at the sky each and everyday; it tells us what time it is, gives us a clue about the temperature and the weather ahead for the day and it something we stare at when we are somewhere new. Isn’t it often the first thing you look at when you draw back the curtains?
Clouds are not something associated with beauty, if we say we went somewhere and it was ‘cloudy’, it doesn’t conjure up images of picturesque landscapes. But, clouds in all of their shapes, colours, forms and textures, can be nature at its best.
Clouds over mountains in Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile
Flying through the fluffiest of clouds in Canaima National Park, Venezuela
Clouds that look as if they are painted onto a canvas in Otres 2, Cambodia
Sunlight breaking through the clouds and into the valley in Dhulikhel, Nepal

When clouds almost hide the horizon in the Salt Flats, Bolivia
Looking up to the clouds in Kew Gardens, London
In the clouds on top of Volcan Osorno, Chile

Are you a cloud spotter?

I have to say….I’m a cloud lover like you! They come in so many shapes, sizes, and colors. Love watching them change throughout the day☁️
Definitely! Th good thing here in Santiago is when they are accompanied by snowy mountains – so pretty! 😀
Oh I’m sure!😄
I find them so peaceful to watch. Great contrast of shots here Marcella. XX
Thank you, glad you like them! And I agree, cloud watching always brings peace!
Beautiful clouds ! Nicely captured !!
Thanks Megala! 😀
Another nice themed compilation post! I love the clouds over the mountains in Patagonia and the ones in Cambodia… so pretty they don’t even look real! I like clouds too. I actually love them when they’re all dark and moody.
Thanks Anna! I totally agree, sometimes the most threatening of clouds can be pretty too!
This is a cloud-lover’s dream! Such gorgeous photos. I love the changes in the sky depending on where you are and the time of day. Lovely photos!
Thanks so much Katherine! I love when the sky constantly changes 😀
These are some stunning images! I was to have my head in the clouds too!!
Thanks Melanie! Cloud spotting is always fun 😀
beautiful photos! sometimes in Taiwan we get a sky full of tiny cotton-ball looking clouds that light up cotton candy pink at sunset – those are my favorite clouds 🙂
Thanks Jamie! Those clouds sounds so pretty; there’s nothing like clouds to light up the sky!
Lovely!
Thanks 🙂
Great pictures! you always have the best post-theme ideas 🙂
Thanks Amy 🙂 This one came to me while looking at the clouds 😉
I love clouds too! Everything is better when they are around. And sunsets with them are the best.
Totally agree! Clouds complete all is the best sunsets!
Oh, fabulous post. As a Dutch person (and we áll know we Dutch have the best skies!! Hehe) I am obsessed with beautiful skies 🙂 Thank you for hosting the linkup!!
What a relaxing post. Loved looking at the clouds and dream away. #wanderfulwednesday
Thanks Jules! Clouds can be such a point of peace!
You are so good at these kinds of photo category posts! And yes, I agree- when someone says ‘cloudy’ we don’t automatically think of beautiful skies like this, but many have you proved us wrong! I actually really like some clouds in the sky, especially for a sunset! 😀
Sunset clouds are the best!
And thank you!! I’m not sure how many more themes I’ll be able to think of, it’s getting harder!
Oh and I weirdly posted on Instagram about clouds today- we’re on the same wavelength hehe
Indeed we are! Loved those moving clouds ❤
I love having clouds in my shots, they add so much drama!
Totally agree! They complete them.
Absolutely gorg – love the salt flats photo! And you are so right – “cloudy’ weather sooo gets the short stick (esp in the UK!) but sometime clouds are the mooost gorgeous part!
Definitely! 😉 Though sometimes the UK could do with less grey ones, haha!
Absolutely ridiculously gorgeous! I love clouds and the gorgeous things they can do to play up a sunrise or sunset. Do you sell prints by any chance? Would LOVE one of those mountain views!
Thanks so much Kristen! And that’s a huuuuge compliment: I’ve never sold any prints but can definitely do! Let me know which ones you’d be interested in and we can discuss: clemandmarcella@gmail.com
I really love this post as it has such a clear and infectious theme! Thanks for sharing! Your photos are stunning – I particularly enjoyed the Cambodia and Santiago pics. I have a poetry blog here on WordPress and today’s poem is about clouds in case you have time to look? Have a good day, Sam 🙂
