Check out these majestic charcoal drawings by Hilary Brace. They seem to point back to a childhood fantasy of playing in the clouds. Brace creates a whole new world set just above our heads in the stratosphere. Each stunning image is soft, grey, and moody. I can almost feel the soft chill of these clouds and mist.

Nature is so cool. Sometime last year, some clouds — under the influence of what’s known as the Kelvin-Helmholtz phenomenon — came to pass in Alabama, Birmingham. The crest-like cloud formation happens when an upper layer of warm air moves faster than the denser, colder layer (with clouds or fog) below it, and surges it [...]

An ephemeral beauty that lasts for just a moment but is captured forever as a photograph, proving Daliesque scenes can occur with a little help from science.

A Planetary Order is an art project by Martin John Callanan featuring a ‘terrestrial globe showing clouds from one single moment in time, thereby subtly highlighting the fragility and interdependence of the Earth’s environmental systems’. The data to make the globe came from satellites overseen by NASA and the European Space Agency.

My Lost At E Minor co-partner, Zac, has a great eye for a photo, as these shots from his Cloud series show. It’s a good reminder to look up more often and take in the beautiful puffs of white that coat our sky.
