If you hate ‘blue-sky thinking’ and would rather dreamily contemplate the heavens to see what you can picture in the clouds, this is the event for you. Gavin Pretor-Pinney, creator of the Cloud Appreciation Society, takes a witty look at clouds and the wonderful shapes they form. The beautiful collection of clouds photographed by members of the society includes ones in the shape of dolphins, elephants, UFOs, Alfred Hitchcock and Andy Murray.
Pretor-Pinney is author of the bestselling The Cloudspotter’s Guide and has recently appeared on the BBC’s Coast and The Great British Weather. He also headlined the first Irish Cloud Festival in July 2011. His book The Wavewatcher’s Companion won the 2011 Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books.
