    1) David Bowie
    CAS used this picture from the CAS Gallery and captioned it ‘Ziggy says farewell…’ (or similar): https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/?s=ziggy&g=1

    2) Glenn Frey/The Eagles (there is a wide selection in the CAS Gallery):
    https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/gallery/photo-04165/

    3) Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister/Motorhead
    The pictures from Mike’s post on the CAS Old Forum no longer work. They included cumulus like dry ice from another group Lordi.
    http://www.network54.com/Forum/385606/thread/1234685717

    If you can post alternative cloud pictures related to the above or other lives, I would be curious.

    Well, my love of Bowie and of clouds didn’t really intersect. But I thought this cover featured clouds, so a quick Google search (it’s one of the albums I don’t have!) brought up this selection. I thought it looked good repeated in Google:

    Not sure why you get the gallery picture not the link, and on testing, the mouse pointer on the picture does not go to the CAS Gallery where I searched ‘Lucy’.

      RE: George Martin

      N.B. I think we may have a bug in the system since the link back to the CAS Gallery does not seem to work – it would have shown that Lucy does work in the sky. The full text follows (I inserted [Mills]):

      ‘This rare capture of a Vortex was taken at 16,000 feet above Wellington, New Zealand, from the cockpit of the Auckland Life Flight Air Ambulance, where Lucy [Mills] works as a Flight Nurse. In very unstable air, these vortices can be drawn up by a Cumulonimbus updraft and produce tornadoes.’

      I remembered it, Hans, and since it came (via you) from an earlier thread about blue, it struck me as relevant. I usually use this thread as an excuse to post random pictures from the gallery.
