They say that every cloud has a silver lining.
But this particular cloud seemed to be something even more special, a message from God.
Captured by former RAF photographer John Gray, 69, from the back garden of his home in Westbury-on-Trym, near Bristol, this cloud appears to be a symbol of peace - a dove.
The fluffy figure was spotted on Wednesday evening by Mr Gray, a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society, who was reminded of the Pope's visit and the Bible's story of the Dove.
The wind was even blowing in the right direction, allowing the 'bird' to fly across the night sky, with both wings extended.
Mr Gray, 69, said: 'I do enjoy looking to the sky for clouds and the unusual patterns and shapes they make.
'Last night I couldn't believe it when I saw the cloud that looked just like a dove at peace - and it happened to coincide with the Pope's visit.

I can sit on my deck with lager on the table or a glass of Riesling; carrying out my society duties.
Sounds like a great weekend!
LOL.
I had to let my dog out or I would have beat you to the punch, my fast typing FRiend. It really is a pretty neat picture.
Cloud Appreciation Society — I LOVE that.

We can look forth to exciting cross Atlantic trips to network with our UK brethren.
The fact it happened at the time of the Pope's visit might be a message to him...
I don’t get the pic at all ?????????????????????
Oh, the cloud in the article photo looks like that harp I posted.
Sometimes a cloud is just a cloud.
That is unless your faith runs on superstition ..
I was wondering when the ‘mystery cloud’/apparition in the sky miracle would occur. And what shape it would take. Not a question of ‘if’, but ‘when’. It’s almost as if the prince of the power of the air has run out out of new tricks. And yet, why change his tricks now.. it always works so well. Every time.
