Clouds are beautiful, abundant and ever changing. In this whimsical class you will learn to look up and pay attention to these under-appreciated but ever-present wonders of nature!
As well as learning technically about cloud types and their features, this class will guide you through a visual gallery of cloud photography as the basis to explore the awe and beauty of clouds and cloud appreciation.
Learning to appreciate clouds offers untold benefits for our health and wellbeing, our imagination and creativity, and sense of prosperity by literally connecting us to nature, our own perspectives, and creating opportunities to exercise imagination and reflection, tuning-out of life’s bustle and tuning-in to its beauty.
