How does it feel like when u r traveling in a car without anything to do? U don’t have anything to say to the driver and ur co passengers are asleep. This is what hpnd with me 2 weeks back when I was traveling back to Abu Dhabi from Dubai. I did not know wht to do, how do to spend the 1.5 hrs trip. I have seen the Sheikh Zayed Road (the one which connects Dubai to Abu Dhabi) hundred times and nothing much to c expect for the sand dunes and barren lands!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its while staring outside that day I noticed the sky. I have never noticed the beauty of the clouds. Ever since I have purchased my digital camera (one of my favorite things) I was always trying to shoot landscapes, mountains and other beauties of nature. I wonder how I missed this nature’s wonder. That day there were clouds of different kinds and shapes. The one which I liked the most was one where the rays of the setting sun were filtered through the cloud and was forming a channel of light. How I wished I had my camera that time. However I was fortunate enough to get another photo of a very similar cloud formation. It’s this photo that I have uploaded in this post.
For those people who think I am being a little cranky by writing this post, here is a shocker. I put a word search in google with “clouds” and what I found was that, there is a society of cloud spotters and appreciators. It came as a surprise to me as, before I saw this, I myself was thinking that I was going overboard with this cloud thing. This society has a website of it own and boasts of over 7400 members. Those who r interested can visit their site http://www.cloudappreciationsociety.org/ and find a lot of information on clouds.
Well for me this lonely car ride has given a new avenue for photography and it features as one the ingredients in making good outdoor photo.

i too have been amazed by the clouds. Especially seeing the light trickle through them when the sun is almost setting or is at an angle as you have beautifully portrayed in your pic. What attracts me is the divine element in the scene. the same things which come to play when the rays come through midst of tall trees covered in light fog of the early dawn. It looks as if God extends his hand to gently caress earth, sleeping under the wooly blanket of cotton white clouds and fog. Fabulous !!
hey i have clicked similar pics too when i am not driving n have nothign else to do.. will send u the pictures :)
