There’s this anime called Windy Tales from 2004-05. It’s about a small town where there’s of wind handlers and each episode shows the various characters who have such power. The animation is of its own style and the series is fairly mellow at times. Junji Nishimura of Kyo kara Maoh, Soul Hunter, Ranma 1/2, and True Tears is the director. I was not a previous fan of his, but after this I’ll have to consider it.
Taking pictures of the clouds is taking pictures of the wind. Clouds move with the wind, you see? That town really is odd with floating cats who know where to go to have such a windy event. The young school girl in the first episode (Nao) tries taking pictures of the cats floating in the wind, but falls to into the bush bellow after a short while. She leaves the ones without wind abilities thinking is was a suicide attempt. It turns out she was saved by her math teach Mr. Taiki (Taiki-sensei). Windy Tales is a good head trip, but also very light and mellow.
On an unrelated note about for those apart of the community, there are a couple contests on the forums. One is an avatar contest and the other is for manga reviews. Check it out if interested.
