You don’t need to look too hard or travel too far for a subject that would amaze, excite and produce a smile on your face. Spend an afternoon outside and just look up. Cloud watching isn’t just something for kids.

Here are 21 photographs that have captured the subject of clouds perfectly. Some are stunning and others whimsical. Take a look and hopefully get inspired on your next photo shoot!
