Why do we travel? To see landscapes and culture. To eat and drink new things. To feel the heat, or cold. To see new horizons, to dwell under a different sky.
Think about your best holiday photographs. Depending on your eye and talents, anything from a third to two thirds of most pictures features sky – and it’s the clouds that add most interest, filter the light, tell the viewer that you are in a land of monsoons, mellow sunshine, wintry drama or dramatic storms.
