2A Knows Best

Ehhh... this thing still exists?

2012-12-19T23:17:00.001+01:00

Hmm, oh well, I'm bored anyway. Let me contribute to the interwebs. Been a while. Don't even remember why this blog even exists. But it's OK, I can kill some time with this. So Why not.

And that's not a cloud. Oh well.

Ah, here are the clouds! Walking up Mt. Fuji, the clouds appear beneath.

And sometimes you walk through them. Ah good times.

All these old cloud pics from up Mt. Fuji, so nostalgic. Makes me want to go up again!

And a last one with a little bit more green.

That's some of the more interesting pictures with clouds I found when going through some old photo's. Sometimes it's just fun to see some of your old pics. I have a terrible memory, some might say because I'm a terrible person, but having pictures like these help me remember things somewhat better. I also want to thank those who went up Mt. Fuji with me for taking some of the pictures above.

Although, obviously the first picture isn't taken anywhere near Mt. Fuji, but who cares. Not like anyone reads this piece of shit blog anyway. Can't imagine why anyone would want to read blogs like this, blogs like this are mostly for self-gratification anyways. Excuse me for the bitterness in that last statement. Clouds are supposed to be light, fluffy and happy things. At least, the clouds posted in this blog mostly are. There are however clouds that are a lot less friendly, both in appearance and in nature. But for now, it seems that there won't be too much thundering and such unpleasantness. Besides, I haven't really figured out why I would want to even share things other than cloud pictures. And even just sharing cloud pictures itself is a highly questionable activity, that neither has a goal or purpose.

Having said all that, have fun and see you next time.

And we're back! Sorta... Will forget about this blog in about 2 hours, but oh well. Have some nice pictures of Leiden at sunset anyway.

And finally some more clouds

2011-07-30T04:36:00.000+02:00

Yes, this blog has been neglected for a while, but here are some new cloud pics.

Have fun.

And then we saw some strange things in Norway

2011-07-05T20:38:00.010+02:00

After Denmark, we made a short stop at Göteborg, Sweden

Were there were no clouds, because it was just raining...

Luckily, Oslo did have nice weather

And one of the weirdest parks I've ever seen...

With some really strange works of art

Bronze crying baby statues...

And the Baby Kicking Man!!

Oh, and clouds...

The clouds are back!

2011-06-26T06:35:00.000+02:00

It's been a while, unfortunately there were exams and what not. But no worry, we're back. With more clouds!

Our student barracks...

...at sunset

Nijmegen, oldest city in the Netherlands

With a cloud

Somehow we ended up in Denmark

2011-06-12T01:28:00.009+02:00

And then we arrived in Copenhagen. Nice city, great fun and some clouds. I actually don't remember what we did there anymore...

Cityhall

Coloured houses, somewhat dark because of the overcast

Luckily the weather cleared up and it didn't rain much

And some clouds above Central Station

Now that I think of it, we didn't take any public transport in Copenhagen and actually walked around the whole city. While the city does provide some sort of bikes you can ride on, they're always taken by other people... Oh well, Sweden and Norway are next, which is great fun, because we visited a rather odd park in Norway.......

London; tubes and clouds

2011-06-09T18:09:00.001+02:00

Yup, this time we went to London. Just to take cloud pictures. Ok... not really, but they do have a lot of clouds and rain and tubes.

Clouds above Piccadilly Circus

Clouds above some monument in front of Buckingham Palace

Clouds above the houses of parliament

And tubes

Yup, traveling and clouds are awesome. Tubes too, most of the time.

Austria and Germany

2011-06-04T04:02:00.006+02:00

Last time I posted about the change in weather when we went from Italy to Austria. Here's more of that!

Although it was rainy and cold, the view was quite nice.

And then we were in Innsbruck, surrounded by mountains and clouds!

After Innsbruck we went to München, were it was overcast and rainy. All day. And that was summer...

Well, the weather in Germany was crap and we couldn't take much cloud pics, so we took the boat to Denmark. Next stop, Danish clouds!

Souvenir from a friend

2011-06-02T19:39:00.000+02:00

A friend of ours went to Barcelona and got us these pictures

Italian Clouds

2011-05-26T07:08:00.008+02:00

So we had French clouds last time. Well after going to France, we decided to drive to Italy.

Except there weren't much clouds to be seen... (Pic taken in Verona)

Venice was also pretty cloudless... (now I'm just showing off, but who cares)

But there were some nice clouds at the Lake Garda

Nice weather and clouds on the Italian side of the Alps...

...and rain on the Austrian side after going trough the Brenner Pass!

Next time, more clouds in Austria!

Clouds of Singapore

2011-05-23T06:37:00.004+02:00

See cloudy heavens
Mankind keeps on inventing
Stirring the spring storms

Anybody got good cloud poems/haiku?

Sunset cloud colours

2011-05-20T04:30:00.005+02:00

The colours of the sky that soak the clouds at sunset inspires one with its warm colours of fading blue, purple and pink. Check out these babies in Oegstgeest.

Do you prefer a big group of clouds gathered together for convention or individual lonely clouds? What do you think clouds think?

Some French Clouds

2011-05-19T01:14:00.005+02:00

While driving to Southern France, I took some pictures of clouds

Fluffy clouds we encountered while on the highway

Clouds in the distance at Pradelles

Ominous looking clouds at Millau Viaduct

And the few Nice clouds that were on the beach

Looking back at these pictures, I'm reminded of how beautiful our earth is. Let's make more cloud pictures!

Scandinavian cloud

2011-05-18T10:40:00.000+02:00

Man, those vikings sure know their clouds. We shot this one over Sweden, I think. What does it remind you of?

For me, it's a meatball sandwich.

Clouds in Amsterdam

2011-05-18T00:20:00.000+02:00

As I grew up in Amsterdam, I had a collection of photos of the Amsterdam skies. Now that this blog has finally been made, let me share some of the most memorable photos with you all. I hope you enjoy the Dutch capital, with the emphasis on the sky.

My favourite cloud.....

2011-05-18T00:06:00.000+02:00

Seeing as two of our writers have touched upon real life clouds, I feel the need to highlight another very important genre of clouds: the animated cloud.

Wow......

Clouds in Taiwan

2011-05-17T23:39:00.000+02:00

Now that I think of it, we went to Taiwan a few years ago and made some nice pictures of clouds at sunrise at Alishan, Taiwan.

I have nothing intelligent to say about this picture... except for 中華民國萬歲!!!!!!

And as a bonus, some clouds seen from the airplane, somewhere over the Netherlands

the first Cloud

2011-05-15T23:02:00.000+02:00

Since this blog will mostly be about appreciating the simplicity of clouds, I feel glad that I can start off with this exemplary model I found while strolling last week:

It makes me feel a peristeronic kind of sadness, but also radiates some kindness, a warmthening feeling that does not Judge because it is not perfect itself.

What do you guys think? (don't be shy, I know you came expecting to read about this!!)
