CATCHING CLOUDS


Evening cloudscape at 8:30 pm when driving home when, for once, the camera was handy in the car. Photo taken from the Tickled Trout pub carpark with two astonished fellas looking on at this daft female jumping out of the car, camera in hand!

"Skies must and always shall with me make an effectual part of the composition." wrote John Constable in 1821. "It will be difficult to name a class of landscape in which the sky is not the key note, the standard of scale and the chief organ of sentiment."

John Day, known round the world as The Cloudman writes about the earth's great skyscapes and gives Ten Reasons to Look Up in order to use our inner eye to perceive.
