Just like seeds in a sliced aubergine, patches on the bellies of turtles, smudges on hospital windows, ripples in mosquito-nets and burn marks on walls (to name but a few), clouds lend themselves to far-fetched interpretations, mostly of a religeous nature. This angel-like specimen was captured over Antwerp, Belgium, four minutes after the cloud in the previous shot.
