Plus an aurora from NASA. I suspect there are recent NASA auroras but I liked this older one.

An alternative profile picture?

Ah, so it is xxx. Since you are not getting any help for your profile, I suggest you e-mail CAS hello@cloudappreciationsociety.org
It is not obvious in my humble opinion. I assume you are asking how to add a profile thumbnail picture. I expected to just hover over the profile picture and see a Change or Update option (as in Facebook); but there is no such option when I hover here.
If you are asking about adding a picture to your Album within your Profile, then see the top of the Forum ‘Uploading an Image’ by Gavin Pretor-Pinney. (I have trouble with that too, though obviously others do not).

Another Old Goggle Eyes?
In The ST Culture Mag 09.08.15 page 18, Waldemar Januszczak has a picture (which I can not find on-line) which is attributed to Emma Finn and presumably is from her film Double Mountain at the Edinburgh Festival. The picture is of spectacles on a face reflecting mountains (with clouds!).

A brief Round-Up by Peter Forbes in The Independent Radar 01.08.15 says ‘…sees nature as media….compare the air, the land and the seas and the senses of animals with human media.’
P.S. Am I right in thinking the rush of real cloud books in the first decade of 21C has now dried up? Can we expect cloud e-books, I wonder (not having an e-book reader)?

http://www.bonnieandbell.com/summer-fun/Katy, you are right on Cu. Love it.
A year or two back the (UK) National Gallery (?) put all (?) its paintings on-line and we had a link to it from the old forum. Can’t track it so far, but go to the National Gallery website then google ‘Clouds’ and you get 84 responses; this is the first:

To solve one of the above riddles, Alex, I was assuming you were the ‘Alexxx’ from the old forum, old goggle eyes, but was thinking ‘Alexx’ (hence ‘shoot your second ‘x’ off’).
