in clouds
The first morning after 3rd year, after saying goodbye to many of you, I was on a plane to California to see my close friend Liz and to explore the beautiful northern part of that state. As we were walking on Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco, where this photo was shot, we were swiftly enveloped in a bright white-grey translucent cloud. I learned that the cloud is called the marine layer and originates over the cold waters of the pacific ocean before being swept in to land. I wish that through this blog you could feel, smell, hear, and yes, even taste the air, bridge, people, cars, boats. For the full experience, as you view this image, turn the air conditioner down to 60 degrees, play an audio file of a busy waterport and a highway simultaneously, and have a friend lightly mist you with a spray bottle of salt water. Or I suppose you could just imagine it.

Okay, so I said I wouldn't use any old photos for photofriday. Umm, I'll start that next week... My entry for Violet:
For halloween each year, we take the lecture hall and build a massive cardboard box maze, like the ones we wanted to make as a kid but couldn't find enough cardboard for. With fun dead ends and nooks/crannies and all that jazz. Plus, we'd make scary sounds and bang on the walls to scare the kids...
