Cloud-watching is one of the best pastimes for a lazy spring or summer time weekend. Just stretch out on the grass and let your imagination wander as you spot faces and images in the fluffy clouds lazily floating through the beautiful sky.
Our tendency to see faces or images in random objects, such as cloud formations, is called pareidolia. Renowned astrophysicist Carl Sagan theorized that this hard-wired tendency evolved as a way to quickly identify faces at a split-second (even in poor visibility), allowing us to identify them and judge their emotional state in the blink of an eye. And that's why we see things in bushes, white clouds, and even appliances or random objects!
If you go to watch the beautiful clouds, be sure to take some pictures and add them to this post dedicated to this natural phenomenon! Don't forget to tell us what you thought they looked like!

Hole
AmandaSuryavanshi 10 years ago
I saw this hapoen with three perfect circles in a row. I wonder what causes it? My guess is cold down drafts that punch through a thin layer

Its related to water molecules in the air which can be below freezing but still liquid. When the nuclei is disturbed it freezes and stimulates the others around it to form a hole.

More like a Bird of Paradise (the birds, not the plants), or golden pheasant, & similar. The tail isn't right for an eagle, of any sort. :)

Doesn't it mean that a huge storm is coming and that it's time to go home? (it's a real question, no need to be rude if you answer).
