Clouds as seen from an airplane

These are photographs of clouds from a different vantage point - from up in the air, a bird's eye view. The real height and depth of the clouds once viewed from the top is different.

On a fairly cloudless and calm day they might look like this:

Usually though days are not that clear and there is more of a crowd up in the sky. But even this is a fairly cloudless day for the humans down there.

It's getting cloudier now, and passing through some  dark clouds. The cloud on the top left looks like a bunch of people gathered in a circle, celebrating something. Now that's a view you won't get from the earth!

Clouds are pretty thick now. One can still get a glimpse of earth though in the next two photos.

In this last image the aeroplane is heading straight into a very thick cloud. Going to be a bumpy ride. Inside such a cloud as there are air currents that can cause air turbulence.
