Mechanics of Human Interaction

Clouds Castle

Rows and flows of angel hair,
Ice cream castles in the air,
Feather canyons everywhere,
I’ve looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun.
They rain, they snow on everyone.
So many things I would’ve done
But clouds got in my way.

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down and still somehow
It’s clouds’ illusions I recall.
I really don’t know clouds at all.

— Joni Mitchell

Another aspect, which the poet probably hasn’t experienced or chosen not to mention, is that a cloud is nothing more than a lot of mist when it has descended on a mountain and you walk through it. :)

I returned, last night, from a short sojourn in the hills of Himachal Pradesh (a state carved out of Indian part of Punjab, when it was trifurcated into Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh), though I had to mostly remain confined to a hotel room there, because of being unwell.

Meanwhile, I agree with cloud formations being very photogenic and I, too, often try to capture those on camera. :)
