Cloud shadows and sky views

2008.10.24
It's amazing that they can build golf club communities in the middle of the desert. On one side of the street, it's lush and green and on the other it's dry desert.

Look how the housing developments are tucked right into the mountains.

Along the river, there is plenty of irrigation, but the landscape abruptly changes to desert.

Clouds dance over the mountains and leave their individually shaped shadows below them (something you can't see from the ground).

Such a different perspective from the sky.




A big shadow creeps up.

The cloud formations change into rows...


...then back to spots over the crop circles.

This looks like snow with mountains in the background, but it's all clouds.

On a low-flying plane from Palm Springs, California to Phoenix, Arizona, I found the views and the cloud formations to be fascinating.

veganess #11 looks suspiciously like chemtrails, looking down at them.
