I couldn't quite work out who is behind this site that Leo found but it is definitely engaging and definitely an interesting example of creating a physical space to help navigate a virtual one.

In defence of clouds

If waking up on a cloudy summer's morning has left you feeling a little gloomy, then now is the time to check out The Cloud Appreciation Society. A few minutes spent on this site soon has you looking at a cloudy sky with a new found sense of excitement. Incidently the one above is a very rare Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud.

Below is the society's manifesto

WE BELIEVE that clouds are unjustly maligned and that life would be immeasurably poorer without them.
                   
We think that they are Nature’s poetry, and the most egalitarian of her displays, since everyone can have a fantastic view of them.
                   
We pledge to fight ‘blue-sky thinking’ wherever we find it. Life would be dull if we had to look up at cloudless monotony day after day.
                   
We seek to remind people that clouds are expressions of the atmosphere’s moods, and can be read like those of a person’s countenance.
                   
Clouds are so commonplace that their beauty is often overlooked. They are for dreamers and their contemplation benefits the soul. Indeed, all who consider the shapes they see in them will save on psychoanalysis bills.
                   
And so we say to all who'll listen:
          Look up, marvel at the ephemeral beauty, and live life with your head in the clouds!
