The Cloud Appreciation Society

The Cloud Appreciation Society includes, amongst its several many wonders, a gallery of cloudular wonders, a discussion board, and a most delightfully insightful manifesto that begins like this:

"WE BELIEVE that clouds are unjustly maligned
and that life would be immeasurably poorer without them.

"We think that they are Nature’s poetry,
and the most egalitarian of her displays, since
everyone can have a fantastic view of them.

"We pledge to fight 'blue-sky thinking' wherever we find it.
Life would be dull if we had to look up at
cloudless monotony day after day."

Blue-sky thinking and the insidious implications thereof. Who knew?

Turns out that this is the second part of what became the first part of my exploration of clouds and the nature of visual delight.
