How something looks may depend on how it is viewed. Consider storm clouds.
Clouds ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #146
Storm Clouds #1
Looking up, I see
trees wary of churning clouds.
Wish I could look down.

Storm Clouds #2
Looking down, I’d see
clouds caress dear Mother Earth.
Rain for thirsty trees.
Image Sources
- While doing a little yardwork before predicted rain, I glanced upward and noticed how trees framed a bright cloud in a darkening sky. I ran for my camera and took a few photos. For this post, I tweaked the image to mimic the ominous look I had often seen but not photographed.
- The Blue Marble image was downloaded from NASA Visible Earth: The Blue Marble. Making NASA’s image cost a lot more than making mine. That’s OK. It was money well spent.
(BTW, the [Menu] button atop the vertical black bar reveals the widgets.)

Well done. As I age I find myself thinking thoughts like these more often.

Images with a distinctive atmosphere, work well with the reflective poems. Food for thought, I think.

Wonderful juxtaposition in image and poetry.
As for the value of the NASA image vs yours … cost hardly enters into it. On that particular day, of 7+ billion people on this earth, only one of them could take that photo (and then help it tell a story with a little editing). Makes it pretty precious in my books. 😉
