Down boy!

Here at HuffPost UK Culture, we love intense, complex novels that illuminate the human condition and thoroughly researched non-fiction that better explain difficult topics.

We also love books of clouds that look like things.

Thank the lord then for Gavin Pretor-Pinney and The Cloud Appreciation Society, who together have compiled what is surely the definitive compilation of the latter.

Animals, vehicles - even famous people appear in skies around the world ready to be discovered by anyone patient enough to gaze up at them.

Most of us, of course, are too busy to walk around staring upwards all day long - not to mention the strain it'd put on your neck.

So instead enjoy these selected highlights from Clouds That Look Like Things, and if you like, purchase a copy of the book to see many, many more...

Gavin has spent a long time looking up ,im amazed he didnt mention ,Perm contrails AKA Chemtrails,On any given day the sky is full of white lines ,full of Aerosol spray ,an Aluminium and Barium mix , These are not ordinary condentation that evaporates within seconds over time they spread out and linger ,making a Sunny morning into a hazy afternoon ,its well known online there is a Worldwide Covert operation project Cloverleaf taking place,Think about it ,the last 3years have been the darkest on record ,,Rickets is at an all time high ,Due to lack of The suns Vit D ,Alzheimers is rife and Aluminium can be linked as a Catalyst of the symptoms of Alzheimers ,the fallout from the spray is falling back to Earth ,getting in the Water and crop supplies , Pets animals and us are all effected over time ,these Toxic elements build up like Murcury in fish as they cannot be proccesed by the body ;Whilst the pictures are very good ,i long to see clear skies like when i was younger ,Checkout chemtrails on you tube ;

I saw a cloud once.

It looked like a cloud.
