This is a recent shot, taken from my Ontario backyard, looking towards the general area of the Michigan-Ohio border. They always say there are no straight lines in nature, but this cloud looks pretty contradictory to me. First it reminded me of some of my Dad’s old drafting tools and measuring tools. From there I jumped to the old days of my Art History major, and one of my favorite works - William Blake’s “Ancient of Days (God as an Architect)” Finally, both compass and right angle reminded me of the symbol on the front of the old Masonic Auditorium that was a cultural and concert venue when I was a kid in Detroit.
