Following the Light

Walking to work on an overcast morning the question arose, "what might be created if I played with 'what light strikes'". Within moments the sun broke from its hiding and lit up a towering cloud overhead. The building in front of me lit in a swath of light, and then the light was gone. I walked into my office and where light fell on the binding of an Andy Goldsworthy book, Stone. Pulled from the shelf I opened the pages to the image of a beautiful twig-wrapped rock.

What would happen if I wrapped a building in clouds? Or wrapped a cloud with buildings? Three images, one cloud...

I expect to find wondrous sights on your blog -- hurrah -- but for first response I think the cloud-merged Embarcadero Center is wondrous. I intend to refer it to someone who works there. Good going!!!!
