8 Breathtaking Cloud Formations

Clouds come in many shapes, sizes, colors and forms all unique and
beautiful in their own way. Whether it is a sky full of red and orange clouds
lighting up the Brooklyn Bridge or rare mother-of-pearl clouds in Scandinavia, I
found some unbelievably stunning photos that capture fascinating cloud
formations from around the globe. Have a look at the pictures belowand you never
know, they may inspire you to look up to the sky every once in a while.

mountains all day and she was able to get a shot of them before the sun finished
setting when this lovely scene disappeared.
