Watching Clouds from the Plane

Clouds. Those white fluffy things floating in the sky. Most of the time we only get to see it from the bottom or at best a side view of them. Ever wondered what does it look like if we viewed them from the top?

A typical view from the ground

Well, the only time we get to view them from a top-down perspective is when we are flying in a plane. The various shapes and forms of the clouds are certainly amusing (to me).

Them clouds rushing off to somewhere

Next is an alien mothership? A battleship? A whale? ¯\(°_o)/¯

A mixture of different cloud 'textures'

The pictures earlier, I believe, are when we are flying over the sea. The following ones are when we are flying over land.

Approaching land. Really interesting to see the clouds follow the shape of the land.

 Rice fields underneath the clouds. Some with the crop while some don't.

The clouds parted for the wings

Looks like an army of clouds waiting across the river

A setting sun together with clouds makes things even more interesting.

Sun still quite high, but it's beginning to set

Niagara falls in the sky

It's like entering into another world...

Angkor in the sky

Finally, the setting sun. Technically it is not from a top-down perspective but I'm still flying.

Cloud shapes are never the same, so the next time I fly what I see may be different from this time.
