Fascinating Clouds

About Us

Welcome to Fascinating Clouds.
A site about random things, including clouds.

From a young age, I’ve always been fascinated with clouds.
They take many forms and shapes. They provoke thought and imagination based on personal interpretation.
The possibilities are endless. The energy within some of them is tremendous.

As a kid, I used to think clouds were a solid mass that would support your weight. You’ll be happy to know I discovered that’s not the case.

This revelation didn’t stop my fascination; hanging around them was my inspiration and led to a career in aviation.

While I built this website for fun, now and then, I share a story.. 

So on this site, you will find a brief bite-size summary of the ten main cloud types. A blog that contains reviews of travel products I like and reviews of products and services I use while at home

Last but not least, just for fun, a photo gallery of clouds taken from the ground and air using phone and tablet cameras.

Thanks Rimon.
