Few cloud photos taken around the beach in Batu Besar. Broad sky with clouds and birds, windy sea with waves. Calming.

Happiness is like a cloud, if you stare at it long enough, it evaporates. - Sarah McLachlan

Cloud as object of photography can sometimes bring emotion to whoever takes them. They are formed by billions of tiny water vapor yet almost weightless, drifting to wherever the wind takes them. Motion of the drifting clouds in the vast sky give me a sense of broadness and ever-changing. On a fine day when nature paints the sky blue and the cloud white, they together provide a sense of cheerful and warmth. At times when it's about to rain, dark clouds form and they give me gloomy feeling.

This set of cloud photos were taken using camera phone, which is handy for this kind of quick snap. As clouds evaporate fast, one moment they are fluffy and huge, the next they disappear altogether, leaving only vast blueish sky. All pictures in this set are portrait oriented and I experimented with this orientation to somehow get a different feeling out of them instead of a normal landscape mode.
