Clouds Over the Ardennes
Reflected
sunset;
Pink cotton
candy under
Full moon,
azure sky.
In Spring 1981 I was
living in
Charleville-Meziers
in the Ardennes
department of
France. I looked
out my window one
late afternoon, and
saw the sunset
colors projected on
clouds over the
opposite horizon,
above the village
houses and forests
on the mountain
slopes. Stepping
out onto the
balcony, I could see
the sky progress
from light blue to a
deep azure, with a
full moon above them
all. The beauty was
stunning; I couldn't
take pictures fast
enough.
