"I've looked at clouds (life) from both sides now."
She looked at all sides of the issue but still comes away only with the illusion (from seeing through the senses, self, ego, desire) and feels she doesn't know the truth in the end. Such is Maya.
or she saw Ice Cream Castles and it's really water vapor and dust particles. Take your pick

If u really wanna learn more about clouds and how to identify them you should read 'Cloud Spotters Guide' by Gavin Pretor Pinney (ISBN 978-0-340-89590). It's the most upliftingbook you'll ever read!
After you read it, I recommend you join http://www.cloudappreciationsociety.org, for about €10 you get a cool certificate and of course the honour of now been officially known as a cloudspotter

Here is a shot I did a couple of years back. I did it with a small consumer camera and PhotoShop. I shot the sky in four parts stitched together. However I did it twice. One set was exposed normally. The second set was underexposed to capture detail in the brightest part of the sky that was burned out in the "normal" exposure. Then I took the two stitched images and layered one over the other. Next I erased through the top layer to reveal the detail captured in the second layer. This essentially captured what my eye saw, but my camera could not do by itself. There were hints of the blueness and the yellowness, but I wanted to see what would happen with manipulating the the color saturation so I added blue to the blue side of the sky and yellow to the yellow side of the sky.
Then I grabbed my dog Toto and headed for the storm cellar.

I see clouds like those around here once in awhile. Now I know what to call them. "Asperatus." I've got a trivia question for the gang, too.
-
Whats your question Dave?
-
Sorry, Toby. I meant for the gang at work.
But since you asked, here's a weather related question. What is always associated with a thunder storm? You can't have a thundstorm without it.

I agree. These seem to come straight out of Vue. I think they are fake.
And yet the link you provided for real clouds has one of the same pictures as in the original post by Toby.

I think hidden in those clouds is a really big alien Spaceship. Better call Will Smith

The details of some of those photos are on the Cloud Appreciation Society's site.
