Cloudy with a Chance of Joy

Society Founder Gavin Pretor-Pinney recently gave a 10-minute talk about cloudspotting at the TED Global conference in Edinburgh, Scotland. I has now been put up on the TED website, and you can see it here:

Thank you Gavin, I agree on every word!
..but
most people have to learn to look up on the clouds – again- because all of us have seen them as a child, lying on the grass a summerday…!
and then?? – what happened then?
After my PHOTO exhibition on clouds in Stockholm ,Sweden,
2002, people still come greatful to me and say: “now I have learnt to look up in the sky!! So some years ago I decided to publish my cloud pictures as a book called
“PIECES OF HEAVEN”.
You can call it a POETIC GUIDE to CLOUD spotting!
Interested? get it for 15 pounds + delivery at [email protected]
and have a nice CLOUD DAY!

Gavin, you have it already..;-)

So glad Gavin went on TED. I’ve been watching TED for years and also been a fan of Gavin and his appreciation of clouds for a few years. Great to see both come together. What a great topic for a TED talk!

Loved that Gavin. What an entertaining, gentle reminder to appreciate the great and humbling beauty of nature.
