Fish, Shark, and Serpent Clouds Mountain View & Palo Alto, CA
Photos of Clouds & Haikus |
|
Preface: On Friday, October 23, 2009 after leaving Foothill College's Krause Center
on the Los Altos Hill campus, I was waiting for the 5:16 pm Bus #40. When I looked up the sky,
there was a giant "Fish Cloud" swimming in the deep ocean blue. I didn't have my camera
with me to capture this magnificent image. Just to make sure I wasn't imagining another
bird or fish in the clouds, I asked a student who was nearby what he saw in the clouds.
He was amazed too "It's a fish! I wished I had my camera with me. I'm a photography major,
and this would have been a fantastic shot." I hurriedly sketched the "Fish Cloud" on a
3"x5" piece of paper I carry around to write haikus before boarding my bus. The next two days
I brought my camera along and managed several cloud photos that resembled a fish, a serpent,
a shark, and some picturesque swirling clouds. I'm sharing these images below with my haikus.
