Cloud watching

Yesterday, there was a nice meteorological event. It was generally overcast, but there was a place where the clouds had parted and a single beam of light was cast down onto the city. It looked very nice.
One of the things I miss from Winnipeg are the clouds. For lack of a better term, the clouds in Winnipeg are aged properly. In Alberta they have just come over the mountains, so they lack character. All the clouds seem to mix together, and very rarely show any distinction. In Winnipeg they’ve had time to build themselves up into high fluffy things.
You don’t notice it, until they’re gone.
