Iceberg straight ahead!

When we were nearing our decent to Maui, the sun was just beginning to set and the clouds took on lives of their own. Now, of course I was a little tipsy and quite tired from the combined 13 hour flights but I started seeing huge lizards, bunnies and castles in the sky. There is a point near sunset where the sky begins to look like the ocean, the clouds look like huge icebergs floating through the blue of the sky. And then it changes again and all these different figures, shapes and animals appear. When the plane did a sudden turn to descend I thought — Ack, watch out! Don't fly through that poodle with a machine gun strapped to it's back!
