Above the Clouds

I love this picture. I mean, I really really love it. It's such a simple picture yet it has so much meaning. I took this picture while flying home from San Francisco one day in July 2011. I loved the way that we were flying over a sea of clouds yet, just above the clouds was beautiful blue sky. It mad me think about all of the people who were BELOW this sea of clouds. What were they experiencing? Were they being hit with rainfall? Were they simply having a gloomy day because the sun hadn't quite been able to break through? How many of the people BELOW the clouds were aware of the fact that ABOVE the clouds there was this BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKY. It was a great reminder for me that no matter how gloomy things may appear at times, there is ALWAYS a beautiful blue sky just about the gloom. And the gloom doesn't last forever. So, there are two options. 1. Wait for the gloom to go away and before you know it, the sky will be blue again. 2. Look up. Maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to see some of the beautiful blue poking through. That's it. Just wanted to share my cloud filled blue sky with all of you. After all, something THIS beautiful should not be kept to ones self. Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you ever taken a picture while flying? If so, what's the coolest picture you've taken?

Talk to me! Til next time...
