Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons evrywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on evryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its cloud illusions I recall
I really dont know clouds at all
50 years of smoking seasoned this one perfectly.
Thanks for sharing your pics.

There is a lot of structure and variety in clouds considering the ingredients are air, water, and temperature differences.
None of the other images from Mars made it quite as real to me as the dust devils.
and in other borrowed images

a revision and an addition to the post above:
"fundamentally the problem [of cloud formation] is that of the changes of state of water between its vapour, liquid, and solid states...the presence of air - that is the unpolluted mixture of pure permanent gases - has little to do with the process."
"the natural atmosphere, however clean it may appear to be, is always supplied with a sufficient number of minute particles of salts, acids, or other substances...These are the 'nuclei of condensation'"
from Weather and Climate by R. C. Sutcliffe, 1966
and in a Where-are-they-now? aside, this guy who climbed at Index in the 80s now makes his living studying clouds, seen here with his wife when he visited Vancouver in July, 2007
