I enjoy looking at the clouds and stars.

Looking up at the sky, especially at night, give me such an intense feeling. I'm not familiar with the constellations so I made a few of my own, a manta-ray and an orca.

I like looking at clouds for their light and dark patterns, and the different layers, but I don't usually try to identify shapes.

I know a few constellations, and I was pleased when earlier this year I was able to identify Cepheus for the first time. Doesn't it make you feel connected to the universe - past, present, and future?

I like it when clouds look rather weird/unusual/ominous but I don't really try to relate their shapes to things.

I like looking at the sky when there are many stars. I know very little about constellations. I regularly identify Orion as it's very easy. When I see the night sky, I often think about some planets that must be somewhere in the universe where other intelligent beings are living nice lives.

I can only identify Orion, but I always look for it. I could cloudwatch for hours, because the different layers and depths of clouds really highlights the vastness of the atmosphere.
