skyscape
Clouds and horizon
A skyscape is a view or depiction of the sky, parallel to landscape for land and seascape for sea.
The term applies both to what you see when you look up—clouds, sunsets, atmospheric phenomena—and to artistic representations of such views: The photographer specialized in dramatic skyscapes of storm clouds.
