i live in madrid and have noticed that clous formations and cloud patterns are changing as global warming kicks in, it is quite noticable in landscape too as large areas of the iberian peninsula are now qualified as desert, when before the rainfall levels would not allow that qualification.

the us does not freely speak about this massive problem which afects us all, but now, even the econimists are calling for action, so my friend, want you clouds back?, use your power, lobby your goverment:

Right now there is a cloud hunkered down in the San Joaquin Valley in California----we call it fog Outside my window my guess is 100' visibility.

Not really, no. Just tourists. Tourists everywhere. Large tourists, with shorts and loud t-shirts with wild prints, getting in your shots, standing there oblivious to you, holding their digital cameras to their faces for 10-20 minutes for each shot as they frame and re-frame and fumble with the shutter button then check the image and do it again

Haha, yeah, unlike those large format photographers who pop in like lightning, snap off a shot or two, and disappear just as quickly.

Now I use a laptop and accuweather radar in search of clouds. I go where the clouds are, not where the national parks are. If they come together, then it's even better. Less days wasted.

A wise approach. Clouds are the 3rd dimension landscape. Once you see them no landscape is boring. Looking up is as important as looking around you. Weather photography is a blessing of life.

I am among those astounded by the food comment. Were you asking for hamburgers? I used to work in Rome. Because our head office was right on the Via Veneto I was eating in touristy places and even at the railroad station quite often. The only food that I regarded as somewhat sub-standard was at a place that catered to the American trade. Now, prices at the touristy places, that was a different matter.

Actually, in my case, this is an accurate description since I use a handheld 4x5 with a Grafmatic ...

I found the clouds. They were situated between my camera and Comet McNaught this evening along Turnagain Arm, Southeast Alaska. Dang!
