Reaching for the heavens

 Posted by Picasa


I've noticed, each place has it own unique cloud patterns. Tequila Sunset posted sometime in the past is the cloud formation over Cochin. Scientifically speaking, clouds over any place is a direct measure of precipitation there, but I'd say it was a measure of how pleasant the place can be! :)

Chennai has the most beautiful bluest skies you can ever see. Mostly there is not a cloud on the horizon, making for some spectacular sunrises and sunsets.

Singapore has rain all through the year, so there's clouds around most of the time. But once in a while, you have great definition, making for a memorable scene.

If you spend all your time living your life, when do you have time to look to the heavens?

Singapore, being in the tropics, is subjected to strong heating of the ground during the day. This factor and the presence of surrounding seas with differential temperatures, give rise to turbulent convective currents. Thus the perennial presence of cumulus & cumulus-nimbus clouds over the island.

Clear cloudless skies is a sign of calm weather - which is very rare in S'pore. I agree that endless blue skies are wonderful. But when one is in hot & humid S'pore, the presence of sun-blocking clouds is literally a "measure of how pleasant" this place can be !

Yeah, we must take the time to smell the flowers, as well as to reach out for the beauty that is above us.
