Clouds
We use the word “cloud” in many ways separate from association with weather: “cloudy vision,” “clouded judgment,” “head in the clouds.” There are “word clouds” and “thought clouds,” and now we can store items electronically “in the cloud.” In good times, you can be on “cloud nine” or in bad times you can be “under a cloud of judgment.”
Clouds can serve many purposes: a shield of respite from the hot summer’s sun, a subject of fluffy wonder for children to identify animals and shapes, or a source of rain for drought ridden earth. They can serve as a signal for pending storms, an omen of things yet to come. Today the clouds served as a reminder that winter is not yet over. But “every cloud has a silver lining” and today’s is that spring is near.
I've always found these Quarry towers remarkable, but seeing them in this picture/in this perspective reminds me of nuclear plants or something. They almost seem kind of sinister. Pretty cool.
