Sky Art

So far in this otherwise amazing New Year I have found my mobility somewhat constrained by recovery from some necessary surgery (with another surgery scheduled for later this month), a ludicrous bout with some insane flu virus and...wait for it....drumroll please: RAIN and MONSOON LIKE CONDITIONS.  Rain in Northern California? What's next?  Dogs sleeping with cats?  Lol....

Also, there's been a bit of a cultural drought in the Bay Area so far this year.  There are absolutely no interesting museum shows or retrospectives at any of the local art centers and there is a real shortage of anything interesting or creative coming out of any of the San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley or Palo Alto art galleries and alternative creative spaces. Btw, in all fairness to the Bay Area creative and art gods, it does look like this dearth of artistic and visual stimuli will be ending come early Spring.  Yeah!

The result of these two phenomena - my constrained mobility and lack of cool stuff to look at or engage with - has left me with few postable blog entry choices.  

But then I discovered this:

And then this:

These last couple of weeks, somebody's been putting gorgeous art up in the sky out over the Pacific Ocean just outside my apartment windows!  The secret curator in me wants to call it "My Higher Power's Retrospective of Celestial Artworks."  We can probably refer to it simply as "Sky Art."

I hope you enjoy this true gift from the gods as much as I have.  It's slightly more impressive viewed in real time in it's natural state but these pics do it a fair amount of justice.  Here's a few more!  Enjoy!
