How Now, Brown Cloud?


I saw these clouds today after class. They were striking in that they were unusually brown. This one reminded me of an invading spaceship - pick any spaceship movie you like - the way it was hanging over the horizon all huge and imposing with its brothers and sisters.















Bright and beautiful clouds with a dark underbelly - literally.
I asked the guy next to me at the crosswalk if it was just me or were those clouds reddish-brown?
He looked startled and said they were.
"Weird." I said.








The clouds I saw when I crossed the street and turned around were much more imposing, but they also reminded me of pouring cream into coffee and watching it sink to the bottom and billow up again.
