From Ken Fung.

Hong Kong. The Story of Clouds. The top of the sky, the writeboard of the creator. He depicts in black and white, the story told by the clouds. In heavenly words, they transform, they tell, they migrate to reach every part of the world. © Ken Fung.

From Bernadette Marie Zvonek.

Shelton, Connecticut. US. A Cloud I’m a wonder to behold A marshmellow if you will On sunny days I’m as white and fluffy as can be On cloudy days I’m shades of shadowy gray I float gracefully across the sky A work of Art And if you look closely enough You’ll see that I can […]

From Heather Cameron- Fischer.
