You can't fence clouds

PHOTO
Walking on the beach at Sunderland Point, Lancashire, I looked up and saw this cloud, apparently lower than its companions, drifting over the barbed wire fence that marked the edge of the cultivated land. It made me reflect that, just as you can't hold back the sea, you can't fence in the clouds!

QUOTO
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time."
John Lubbock (1834-1913), English banker, politician, scientist and writer
