They’re up there to help

“Smoky Panorama” (archival pigment print hand-colored with pastels), by Helen Glazer, in the show “Clouds: A Collaboration with Fluid Dynamics,’’ an group exhibit of cloud photography at the William Benton Museum of Art, in Storrs, Conn., through Dec. 14.

The museum says that although clouds are “often physically far away from life on the Earth’s surface, clouds support life on the planet. We may take them for granted, but like art, we need clouds." This exhibition is presented in collaboration with the University of Connecticut College of Engineering and Professor Georgios Matheou, who recently received a National Science Foundation award for his work on clouds.
