sweepin' the... clouds away

5/29/08

I love it when I come to this blog and see something in a new and unique way. It happens often. Thank you.

Wonderful photo! Makes my palms sweat due to my #*$&*!! acrophobia, but I appreciate the perspective and sweep of it.

Awesome photo. New York rules. They'll have to drag me away kicking and screaming.

Did I ever tell you that I am a distant relative of the man who designed Central Park? Yup, it's true.
