Photography: The Most Amazing Cloud Formations Ever Captured
As per the wiki definition, a cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water and/or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. They are also known as aerosols.
If we were to define a cloud like children do, we could say that it is a mass of fluffiness in the sky. The following showcase is meant to reflect both definitions of the cloud and show their beauty, power and weirdness. Beauty of the shape and color, power to change the weather, cover the sun and produce mood swings; weirdness comes from their unusual aspect at times and ability to travel across the sky.
Ever heard of Mammatus, Lenticular Clouds or Eerie Clouds? Scroll down and enjoy the beauty of ever changing clouds!

The second photo (“Unusual Cloud Formation”) is called a pileus cloud. It’s caused when a rising updraft punches through a moist layer on its way up. They’re similar to the cap clouds that form over mountains.
