A spectacular and beautiful cloud formation was spotted in the skies above Australia by a passenger on an aeroplane.

Both Sides, Now

by Joni Mitchell

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

It is interesting. Living in the mountain West, I have seen all kinds of strange cloud formations over the decades, but never anything like this.
