steam ship

I never grew out of my childhood fascination with clouds. Even now if

I can’t immediately imagine all manner of stuff in cloud formations I

think something is wrong with me – I am taking the world too

literally. I am sure the clouds along the outer banks are no more

interesting than anywhere else, but when I am there my imagination and

the clouds seem to go wild. Comments and critique appreciated

Probably best to click the larger view.

Love the BIG sky and the comparatively small boat, it serves to illustrate our insignificance in the big wide world!

I know what you mean about clouds, It is the backdrop to everything we see...well almost everything.

I can't say I was fascinated with them from a child, but I know I have viewed the world differently ever since I looked at it through the viewfinder of a camera, and the sky is the first thing I look at when composing landscapes.

Best Regards

Alf

Wayne, I totally do the same thing, I look for things in all kinds of formats whether it be clouds or floor tiles but I know what you mean. This is great and I see the steamship. Well done.

BR, Holger

Nice simplicity and pov, great clouds.

Alf,

Many thanks.  I was on a ferry somewhere between Ocracoke and Hatteras and I felt exactly that - so small and insignificant relative to the grandeur of the sky and sound (Pamlico Sound)

Holger,

Thanks.  When I am not seeing a things as something else, I realize I am seeing too literally and not opening myself to wonder.

Chris,

Thanks.  I think you hit on something - POV.  The clouds on the outer banks seem to float low, probably not but it seems so.  It feels like I am both looking up (and at some focal points) on the same level.

Wayne,

  Wonderful image with beautiful POV, it is almost if they lined up just for you.  Take care, Patsy

Patsy,

Thanks.  I followed this ship/ferry and clouds for quite a while waiting for the best moment.

Some tiny little black pixels down there, just to remind us how small and insignificant we are in front of the mother nature.

Michail,

Thanks.  Exactly.

Wayne,always clouds are a so interesting photo subject but not only,I like how this cummulus clouds look so high and in light seem to be like snowballs.Each moment of the day show this clouds in different aspects and we like this.I like too the ship that as Alf say gives a dimension to whole this scene.

Radu,

Many thanks for stopping by and commenting.  Your notice and kind analysis are really appreciated.

I also, am fascinated with clouds. Very nice.

Tony,

Thanks.  I see you are also a cloud aficionado.
