Jet contrails crosing over Frankfurt, Germany: Miguel Andrade, 2006
After a stormy (not in the literal weather sense, but in the mood of things) morning, the lucidity of this, and the cool blue and white and straight and crossed lines, reached me in the cool blue and white (with some dingy gray thrown in) of the Sport-o-Rama skating facility in Monsey, New York. Now I'm riding the contrails somewhere, fulfilling a longtime ambition. I enjoyed visiting Thus Spake The Crow a lot.
