  1. What a stunning series– inspiration for anstract paintings. What the heck is that loop of “cloud” in the second image, at the mountain edge? Truly weird¡

  2. THIS SUNSET CAME CLOSE TO LASTING TIL SUNRISE. WHAT AN ALTAR FOR TODAY IT WAS. WHAT WE WOULD BE MISSING IN LIFE IF YOU HADNT STARTED SKYWATCHING AND SKYSHOOTING. IT REMINDS ME OF ALL THOSE TUESDAY 7AM MORNING MISSION MASSES THE FAMILY DOG SAM WOULD WALK ME TO, NOT A SHORT DISTANCE INTO TOWN. AFTER FATHER MELCHOR’S 5-MINUTE MASS—SHORT FROM HIS BEING A CHAPLAIN IN WWII—I’D WALK THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN TO SCHOOL. NOW I GET TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVERY EVENING WITH YOU.
