"Look at your feet. You are standing in the sky. When we think of the sky, we tend to look up, but the sky actually begins at the earth." - Diane Ackerman

I drew this from a photograph taken in Scotland on a day when the clouds rushed in fast and dark and rained on us a little bit and then almost as quickly were gone. I'm glad I took a picture. This sky lasted only moments. but took my breath away while it lasted.
