Arrow in the Sky

Welcome, SkyWatch Friday readers!!!

"GO WEST, YOUNG MAN!".........or anyone, for that matter!!
*************
Is it just me, or do you, too, see an arrow branded into the sky in this photo?

Incidently, the arrow IS pointing WEST!!!

For anyone viewing this Skywatch Friday post from outside the United States, and you don't understand the saying, "Go west, young man!".......here is the explanation: This phrase was made famous in the mid-1800's by a New York newspaper publisher, Horace Greeley, as his advice to the unemployed in his city. The phrase was actually first used by an Indiana newspaperman, John Soule, in 1851. (So says my World Book encyclopedia.)

Well we wouldn't have been on the same page today because I haven't had time to posts as I'm giving a big baby shower at my house tomorrow. But I did take the time to enjoy the post about how important everyday art is in our lives. It was really beautiful and a treasure of a posts. Thanks for thinking of me and sending me there. Hey, I look forward the the transidental sharing of the minds when I get back from my week in Cloudcroft. Take care

Those are some cool clouds, and the silhouettes on the ground really give it depth. Nice shot!
