  14. Matthew Says:

    Here is a photo number 7 that is asking for news.
    This photo was made in Alupka, Crimea, Ukraine.
    I was in this castle (Woroncew castle) this summer
    while having a tour through Crimea : ) (was there virtually 3 weeks ago)
    What is more funny i bought this photo in this castle,
    because one of the workers made this photo while
    being in castle.
    They decided to sell it and make of it some kind of attraction
    that can be paid for.
    As a freaky FAN of clouds immediately bought a copy : )

    Regards

    i think most of them look sweet except the dragon one sucked

  16. Vicky Says:

    Back in 1970 while vacationing in a small village south of San Felipe, Baja, Mexico we were staying on a beach in a friends trailer just over the hill of this village. No one was around except us and a dog who would visit is daily and never barked. One day while laying in the trailer we heard the dog barking. We thought it must be another animal. I went outside to see what the dog was looking at. I saw a tall white cloud like form, almost as tall as the cliff and rounded at the top. One huge solid like mass. Then I saw a another one come out of the sea and it joined the other one next to it on the cliff. Then another and another until there were 7 of these huge white forms. I told my boyfriend to come out of the trailer. Then these 7 massive white forms joined together into one huge form and started to float towards us. We turned around leaving all out things in the trailer and walked very fast over the hill to the village and never looked back, We could hear the dog barking. As soon as we got to the village, I heard a large bang, turned around and saw a huge flash of light. It was a clear sunny day. We didn’t see any Mexicans around the village. There was only a small restaurant with some hammocks outside on the deck. We slept in the hammocks that night and hitched a ride on a coca cola truck to San Felipe teh next morning.

  18. Electronic cigarettes Says:

    These clouds are amazing, i just love this blog I even signed upto an RSS reader to subscribe to the updates, its so interesting that you guys find great quality content such as this article. Thanks so much EG! Keep up the good work

  19. Anil Says:

    This is a joke, right? Those clounds don’t look like anyone!!

  20. IC Says:

    Cool collection. Definitely a case of being in the right place at the right time (with a camera). I guess you onle have a few minutes before the clouds morph into another shape.

  21. UFO Sightings Says:

    This was a really interesting article and some great resources around the many cloud formations. These strange creations of course come in all sorts of varying mediums not least the piece burnt of toast in Brazil which resembled Jesus or a whole host of other ’strange’ occurrences. Thankfully we have the internet which provides us with these types of stories almost instantly – long live the information highway!

  22. franyule Says:

  31. Tips Photo Says:

    Thanks for sharing these, they are great.

  32. Jim Says:

    Creepy? You need to get a grip on reality. They’re just clouds! And while some of these vaguely resemble what you say they do, my opinion is you have an over-active imagination.

  33. BlackJackinLasVegas Says:

  105. Connie Says:

    Life throws us curves and we just need to learn to deal. We all need to step back sometime and really take a second look at nature and what life is really telling us.

    Page 4 #7, I took a similar picture in my town. We were having a storm and had lots of cloud rotations in the area during a Tornado warning. One of them was spotted with the one similar to this pic. I will have to load that up. It was taken with a simple cell phone camera.

  118. Siavash Says:

    No.8 is mount Damavand , in Tehran Iran.

  119. Marc Valdez Says:

    Here are several photos of a twisting contrail that sure looks like a DNA helix over Dixon, California on Feb. 11, 2008.

  120. Foxy Queen Says:

    I don’t see such clouds never in my life. It is real?

  121. Cathy Says:

    Oh these are terrific. My favorite is the “one in a hurry”

  122. Jeremy Keller Says:

    It’s amazing what shapes the clouds have provided us with in the past! Already online I’ve found rabbit-shaped clouds and Britain-shaped clouds to give but two examples. This raises the question about the wonderous shapes the clouds may provide in the future.

    Anyway, I am featured on the BBC website and anxious to bring my weblinks to everyone’s attention. Simply visit Google and search the web for Jeremy Keller, or Jeremy Keller BBC, to access the details.

  123. Ryan Says:

    #6 looks like Harry Potter with his wand and books under his arm!

  124. Isaac F Says:

    You should check out this picture of a cloud that was ironically taken from my airplane window on a flight to Guatemala. It looks just like a jet plane! http://www.flickr.com/photos/10819783@N03/975124326/sizes/l/in/set-72157601138906692/

  125. sasha Says:

    The ‘Coming through!’ pic is the best one.

  126. Macchi_m Says:

    8. Disc shaped cloud hovering over mountain in …

    If it’s not Mt Fuji, it could be Mt Taranaki in New Zealand, they look very similar, which is why Mt Taranaki was used fo rthe film ‘The Last Samurai’

  127. Sophia Says:

    the carebear gone crazy made me fall of my chair :D

  128. This guy Says:

    I can’t believe you’re actually getting paid to write this crap.

  129. Irin Says:

    I like the amazing clouds very much!

  130. kiara Says:

    uhm, i don’t see Marlon Brando there.

  131. Richard Says:

    Proof that people live their lives bound by what they percieve to be true and correct. Realities are merely based on perception- that which is relative. While I agree that these clouds look good. I have to say, the others don’t quite match their textual description. Also, I felt that sarcasm in this post could’ve been lessened.

  132. 360by2 Says:

    Sometime imagination wonders the world.. thats the proof

    I like the first imaage.. sometimes I have also seen these kind of things in the clouds…

    This is nature .. its always wonders the human by its versatility.

    Thanks

  133. Rose Says:

    Nothing does my head in more than when people credit “God” or “Jesus” with these formations. If there is anything found in Nature that is Beautiful, then all of a sudden its “God or Jesus” who put it there, but let A country get wiped out by Tsunami, or a City be destroyed by Flood and is it “Gods” fault? nooooooo..
    You people can’t pick and choose ya know.. either your “God” does it all, or he doesnt.. Pfft.. You do my head in.
