Clouds and blue
Skyscapes are views of the sky, especially as subjects for artistic representation or photography.
The term parallels landscape and seascape, focusing attention upward rather than outward: Her paintings featured dramatic skyscapes with towering clouds.
Skyscapes emphasize atmospheric conditions—cloud formations, light, color at sunrise or sunset.
