Sunset, Tuesday, 26 January 2010

William Theodore Van Doren. Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 16 x 20.

I’d heard of word clouds. This afternoon (when it wasn’t yet overcast) I started looking for cloud words.

slate – asphalt – pavement – stone

wraith – fragment – shred – ice – cold

temple-like – pagoda-roofed – Le Corbusier

screen – sheer – scrim – glare – glaze – mica – isinglass

flat – pancaked – held between palms – heaven on one hand – on the other hand, earth

gray-blue – blue-gray – blue – gray

geographic – territorial – map-like – coastline – blue lagoon – bay – continental drift

And not least:

stratocumulus
