cloudscape
Sky's shifting scenery
A cloudscape is a view or picture of clouds, especially a dramatic or picturesque arrangement across the sky.
The word parallels landscape and seascape, framing clouds as a subject for contemplation or artistic representation: The sunset cloudscape turned orange and purple.
Photographers and painters speak of capturing cloudscapes.
