Clouds

One of my 30 Day Challenge topics was clouds.


I wanted to take this one, because I love whispy little clouds, especially when they are just sitting in a blue sky so alone - no other clouds around. Overall, however, this is not a spectacular picture. There is nothing terribly interesting happening. But here's why it's interesting to me: When you're taking pictures of the sky, there are no reference points about up or down or angles. I could have turned it 180 degrees, posted it, and you'd think nothing was wrong. I actually had my phone at quite an angle to myself when I clicked, because I was trying to omit some buildings and power lines from the picture - as a side effect, the clouds end up looking straight across the "horizon" of the image. I think I would actually like it better if the picture didn't look evenly horizontal. I think it would be more interesting.

Oh well!

(Side note: This photo was taken with my phone.)
