Skywatch Friday: Houston, We Have a Kitchen Light

From August 4, 2012
I took this shot one remarkably calm morning after a particularly rainy night. The detritus in the sky looked so beautiful to me--like some heavenly house-cleaning were going on and diaphanous grey scarves were drifting down very slowly. When I took the shot from inside the kitchen, my eyes edited out the reflection of the ceiling lights and the kitchen ghosts. But there they are. So this is a photo of the morning sky from inside the kitchen and not a photo of the morning sky. My socks stayed dry for this one.

How rapidly things change. This was the view a short while later. This would be a beach day after all.

  28. I love the photos. I can't tell you how many times "my eyes have edited out" things that became glaringly obvious later. What do you do besides go with it!

  29. Splendid shots - nice example of the way we can blank out certain sections of what we see!

    Without your explanation the image would already be all over the web as evidence of UFOs!

  30. The aliens are coming, the aliens are coming!

    I love that first image! The reflections of the kitchen lights give it a mysterious air, they could be mistaken for alien starships (have you heard from the UFO people yet?).

    Cheers,
