Where have you seen what you would consider the best clouds? Cheech and Chong movies don't apply.

The best clouds are in The Midwest USA/tornado alley and the perhaps in the adjacent part of Canada. Anyone that has seen summertime thunderstorms knows what I mean.

Next on the quality scale would be the Andaman Sea.

Saskatchewan has the best clouds if you are talking thunderclouds

Alberta certainly has some great clouds and formations

Vancouver Island. We know clouds.

I grew up seeing thousands of kinds of clouds. It's an everchanging mosaic providing more than just pillows and blankets, more than just framing the sights and carrying the rains. Clouds at sunset, rising morning fogs, summer storms. I watched clouds endlessly while growing up. When my family moved to the mainland, inland to Kamloops when I was 10, I found the months of blue sky in the summer to be a boring blue in comparison. It took me years to think of plain blue sky as "beautiful" and I never fully appreciate an everpresent oppressive sun.

Clouds come and go and change shape and cloak the sun and reveal it and shine in its reflection and glow and dance even. I appreciate clouds from anywhere and have indeed seen even more variety in my travels. Some of you speak of prairie clouds and I agree that there are some unique formations there though the locals often looked at me funny when I gazed upward, many asking what I was looking at! (That never happens on Vancouver Island, perhaps because we vanislanders have more of a culture of appreciation for the natural world given so many people travel to see it in its diversity.)

Here are some Vancouver Island clouds I quickly googled:
