The Weirdest Clouds that You’ll Ever See

Inspiration, Resources | Oct 23, 2009 | 243 comments

Nature has always been a source of inspiration for designers to look at things differently.

We all know that a tree doesn’t always have green leaves, water is not blue and clouds are certainly not always white and puffy. As designers, we need to know to look beyond the obvious when looking at things.

Cloud formations such as mammatus or lenticular among others, are perfect examples of how intricate and different nature can be. There are even so called ‘ufo clouds’, which truly resemble the shape of a UFO.

In this post, we take a look at some amazing photographs of the weirdest cloud formations that you’ll ever see, that are destined to inspire your design work and surely blow your mind.

To read more information about any of the photos, just click on any of the images below to be taken to its source. And don’t forget the next time you go out, to look up…

    Wow. Those are some impressive clouds. Great compilation.

  • Stacy

    What a fantastic collection! Thanks for taking the time to put them together. The fourth image with the US and Texas flags is just amazing.

  • http://imokon.com Imokon

    Those are wicked. Clouds have inspired me to write poetry before, not design directly yet…hmmm Got me thinking!

  • http://www.code-pal.com Sumeet Chawla

    Those are some really weird looking clouds… Some of them look as if they have been photoshoped though :P

  • http://www.webgrafismo.com Pedro

    Acts of nature… Simply love this posts… Thanks for sharing it ^^

    Thanks for sharing these. One of the pics looks like the clouds flow with the shape of the mountains.

    wow.. this is REALLY weird ^^

  • http://ijlalhasnain.com dandy

    Cool, I’ve never came across any one of above clouds in my life yet.

    Great post

    I liked the one with the weird cloud.

    • MikeGM

      Tim, you’re “weird”, too.

    • Matt

      WTF? They’re all weird!

  • grant

    photoshop

    • edward

      yes,, mostly of the pictures are fake..

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      I don’t think they are. Our reality is more interesting than we think and not everything strange is automatically Photoshop.

      I checked to make sure that I don’t put any Photoshopped images there, and I didn’t find any evidence pointing to that.

    • Benny

      Thanks for the very meaningful contribution

    • Alex

      Look at the sky just once in your life, and u see the photoshop clouds.

  • http://www.jonathanpatterson.com Jonathan Patterson

    Weird indeed.

  • Revolutionist

    Google search: haarp

    Also, do some research into weather modification.

    Your reality isn’t what it appears to be.

    • http://magazine.gritfx.com Manz

      I second this comment. Reading about the Haarp project is very interesting indeed!

      “Your reality isn’t what it appears to be.”

      You don’t sound cool, just so you know.

  • http://www.flickr.com/photos/iancamarillo/3324094349/ ian

    just thought i’d add an image i took a while back

  • http://forcg.com Paul

    Great collection! :) I’ve got a nice photo of a single cloud in a shape of heart taken a few weeks ago. Maybe it’s not as strange as your ones but looks unusual. Unfortunately, it was taken using mobile phone so its quality is poor and it’s noisy. Too bad. I would post it here otherwise to extend your collection.

    Anyway, thanks for sharing all these photos!

    I love taking photos of the sky… if I was to look up and see some of these sights, I’d be over the moon! ;)

    Terrific post!! If you want to see another “roll cloud” or some “Morning Glory” that turned up in Australia, check out a post my mate Max did: http://magazine.gritfx.com/morning-glory/

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      Wow, I love that one…. I’ve added it to the collection, thanks!

      • http://magazine.gritfx.com Manz

        You’re welcome! And thanks… I’m sometimes a little unsure about sharing a link on someone elses post. However, I’d hoped you’d like it!

        I also saw/read the “photoshop” comment and your reply… nice rebutle!

  • Big Mike

    Would really like a small blurb and explanation around the meteorological forces that cause each of these weird clouds.

  • Jair

    Incríveis imagens, algumas inacreditáveis!

  • http://www.skillipedia.com Networker

    Some of these picture are extraordinary, especially the two caps on top of the hill

  • Kenn

    Wow this site has gone downhill fast.

    How is this relevant at all?

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      The main reason: Diversity for inspiration in unexpected places.

        Very Inspirational collection. The site gets better all the time. Nice work. =)

  • ram

    These are ones of the most impressive pictures I’ve ever saw ! o_O

    Big thanks !

  • http://dudye.com Juan

    These weird cloud formation often happen around high Mountains, look at Ararat, Kilimanjaro & Mount Everest. The cloud formations seem to be clinging to the peak of a large mountain, this is because these super mountains have their own microclimates, They are hot at the base and cold at the top. This phenomenon is called Orographic lift.

  • http://www.impressivewebs.com Louis

    I didn’t think a “mushroom cloud” could qualify as part of this list! :)

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      I don’t think anyone wants to see a mushroom cloud close to them ;)

      • MikeGM

        it appears that the “mushroom cloud” is NOT nuclear in origin , as you surmise, but volcanic (thus natural).

    • Leslie

      I don’t think it’s a mushroom cloud, I believe it’s volcanic ash mixing with the clouds above

  • John

    Have a look at this time lapse of clouds, it appears as if the light has refracted from it creating a rainbow effect.

    Using HDR to accent the could photography is some what cheating. I love the pictures but one doesn’t need photoshop to take great pictures of clouds.

  • LordRW

    Actuly the first pic isn’t a normal “cloud” its a incredible high Wave that made it float while the rest of the water fell down ;D

    • MikeGM

      Normal or not, still a cloud. Not checking the dictionary, “my” definition of a cloud is water vapor visable in the atmosphere above 1800 feet of the earths surface. Below that altitude, it might be called fog. Exceptions? …..well, other substances could create a cloud and also, I don’t know about night time as the cloud might not be visable and, gosh, may not even exist at all. …….thoughts?

    I experienced mammatus clouds after driving through a crazy storm in Montana last year where we nearly died.

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/amaliachimera/2671659422/

    And then this photo ended up being used for the Bowerbirds’ new record “Upper Air.” So rock on, awesome clouds.

    No photoshop tricks or long shutter (normally a long shutter speed could create a shot like this, but this one had a shutterspeed of 1/40).

  • http://creativeoverflow.net Jacques//An1ken

    Damn, Are all those for real? Some weird formations you have their. I read the Post about the tubular clouds, No explanations have been identified as of now Its pretty weird.

  • Hesed

    Not surprising, if any ne would care to look up every now and again you may
    see commercial jets dropping chemical trails that may cause these strange sights
    plus many that you cannot see.
    I dn’know, just a thought maybe perhaps.
    Ooh nice Mohamadi sleepin.

    • MikeGM

      Hesed….Please, Chemical???……..get a brain. With just a nominal IQ, one would know that con-trails are composed of condensed WATER and, to a lesser extent, the products of combustion as found coming from the exhaust pipe of the average family car. OK, OK,.. Upon further thought, I suppose that water and exhaust by-products can be classified as chemical……….my bad. I would say, though, that most of the cloud formations depicted in the attached photos are a result of unusual weather conditions, NOT man made.

    Wow,

    I`ve never seen such clouds and my first impression when i scan the pictures was… “it must be fake, this cannot be real…” but seems that nature is so unpredictable and beautiful that it sometimes gives us some beautiful presents..

    Those photographs are stunning. I’ve never seen such weird cloud formations before. Thanks for gathering those :)

  • Chris

    the video isn`t a natural cloud… it`s an russian experiment to get rid of rainclouds, the most moscow people dont know that, and still many believe in an alien spacecraft or natural clouds…

    man i am totally spinning out. Are these actually real. I somehow suspect some of these clouds are done in photoshop. None the less, they are pretty darn awesome.

  • Hugo

  • http://www.mehlan.de Fewos Oberstdorf

    I am a hobby photographer myself and also saw already a number of weird clouds, but your collection really tops anything! Nature is the best artist!

  • http://www.mehlan.de fischen

    This is a collection of very beautiful and partly bizarre clouds. For everybody who loves to watch cloud formations this is one of the best collections I have seen on the Internet.

  • http://www.online-phentermine.com/ phentermine

    I’ve got a nice photo of a single cloud in a shape of heart taken a few weeks ago. Maybe it’s not as strange as your ones but looks unusual. Unfortunately, it was taken using mobile phone so its quality is poor and it’s noisy. Too bad. I would post it here otherwise to extend your collection.

    Here area couple of excellent videos of a hang glider flying the Morning Glory cloud formation.

    Clearly the only rational explanation is aliens.
