The glow of the setting Sun adds even more beauty to ethereal Cirrus. A soft ending to any day.

Corkscrew Clouds
They’re really not clouds but contrails and are such fun to see! If you look close you’ll spot the airplane flying below … another contrail in the making. It’ll be up to the wind and temp to determine what shape it takes.

Tropical Beauty
Palm trees and billowing cumulus create a stunning scene. An oil painting that won’t melt even in the 95° heat. Winter Springs FL.
Above the Clouds
36k feet and heading towards dawn!
From the Beginning
It’s easy to see why the immenseness of the sky has been an inspiration for artists and poets, inventors and explorers since the first human looked up. (Evening sky in Seattle.)
Puget Sounds of Silence
There’s something about watching the sun break through the clouds that restores peace. Like being in a chapel.
