They are at once mesmerising and contradictory – light, airy puffs of cold moisture that weigh tons . None of us consider their incredible weight or that this tonnage hanging directly above our heads is threatening in any way. They float above and beyond us - fleets of whipped cream or candy floss. They mesmerise us with their fleeting, ever-changing formation and, most of all, are an entity that we can all witness, given a few minutes of spare time to see their coming into being: changing, morphing, maturing, shape-shifting only to evaporate as if they had never been there at all.
