Candyfloss Clouds
.
.
Of candyfloss the clouds are made
or so appearance has portrayed
the pastel fluffiness we see
in such exquisite star debris
where wisps of dusty billows strayed.
.
As cotton candy too conveyed
the multi-colored scene displayed
resembles festive feasting spree
of candyfloss.
.
In Magellanic cloud brocade
the image-processed hues persuade
our senses momentarily
from astral artistry to flee
into a fancied masquerade
of candyfloss.

Capturing candyfloss clouds

Image Description: A part of a nebula in space. It is made of layers of gas and dust clouds in different colors, from blue and green shades to pink, red and black, indicating light emitted by different molecules. The background cloud layers are thicker and puffier, though still translucent, and the upper layers are thin and bright at the edges. Behind the clouds are very many small, mostly orange and some blue, stars.
