Given your current obsession, you might want to take a look at some of the weekly shots on <a href="http://skyley.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Skywatch Friday</a>, --where folks from around the world post photos of skies, often featuring clouds.

But I can't get it to render as well up there as on my desktop; the sky loses a lot of its character. Watch the clouds, especially when the film seems to pause overlong. <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=WzcMjdrEGjs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://youtube.com/watch?v=WzcMjdrEGjs</a> This is my first attempt to edit video from a cheap digital camera as part of a larger project I plan to put on YouTube in the near future. It's just a drive from my neighborhood to my favorite scrap yard shown in a minute and a half. I slow it down a bit only when passing a local landmark, lest anyone misses it. Otherwise, we're driving at about 600 miles per hour. I finally put something on YouTube. But I can’t get it to render as well up there as on my desktop; the sky loses a lot of its character.

In my own art projects I look at the sky when I run out out of inspiration.

If I were a primitive human from 4000 years ago with zero knowledge of the physical world around me, I'd have to attest this epic beauty to higher being with power beyond my comprehension...hehe. Great pics though. Wow!
