Welcome to the Clouds

We are in the sky. There are different types of clouds.

The clouds live in communion with each other. There are regular ebs and flows of different cloud types passing by. The clouds are filled with important informations, storing and exchanging within and with each other, giving and taking, migrating and changing states through the different layers of the sky. Clouds have been traveling up and down the skyscalator for millenia. Sometimes clouds rub up against each other. The frictions can generate friendly energies, exchanges of information and knowledge. Sometimes the energy can build up, and become too much to contain. Then comes the urgent cloudy need of sharing beyond the boundaries of the sky in the form of precipitation.

The clouds are home to various beings, of different shapes and sizes: the cloudwellers. The cloudwellers do not only inhabit the clouds. but are inhabited by them. Cloudwellers engage in life-sustaining symbiosis with the clouds. The clouds are composed of cloudwellers. The cloudwellers operate, feed, are fed by, manoeuvre, and listen to the the clouds. The cloudwellers are very invested in sharing skills and knowledge, each with their own curiosity and excitement to give and receive new informations to disseminate to any like-minded beings.

The air feels heavy. Something is on the horizon. A feeling of dread washes over everyone. Or is it hope? It feels like something’s going to burst, or some energy is going to be released.

cirrus

  • high (above 5000m), thin, wispy, transparent, feathery, veil-like layers
  • composed of ice-crystals
  • often create a halo effect around the sun.
  • are the first to experience changes in weather

<!– cloudwellers –.>

altus

  • middle (2000-5000m), grey & blue grey layers with wide coverage
  • composed of water droplets (or ice and water)
  • fluffy ripples, dimming light
  • precede a weather change

<!– cloudwellers –.>

stratus

  • low (under 2000m), dark, thick grey layers
  • composed of water droplets
  • opaque, block out the sun
  • produce steady precipitation

<!– cloudwellers –.>

cumulus

  • vertical (connecting), puffy, cotton-ball like
  • varied composition
  • flat basis, sharp outlines, massive, towering
  • heavy rain, thunderstorms, lightning and hail
