Cloud Gate is a highly polished reflective steel sculpture that is inspired by liquid mercury. The curved, mirror-like surface of the sculpture provides striking reflections of visitors, the city skyline (particularly the historic Michigan Avenue "Streetwall") and the sky.
You can see the clouds getting thicker as you look East (the right side of the picture). Yes, these clouds were spread all over people's driveways as snow just a few days later...

In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol comprising a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or particles suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body.
The streaks at the top of the frame are raindrops falling toward me, which were lit up by nearby stage lights at the zoo. For the astronomers in the audience, this illustrates why meteor showers appear to radiate from a point in the sky: they are approaching from a far distance, the vanishing point, and depending on various motions, that point is in a different place in the sky. Drivers in snow can see the same thing.
The Neurath power plant near Grevenbroich, Germany, produces 2219 MW electrical power combusting brown coal. It contributes essentially to energy production and climate - locally and globally.
As I was coming home from work, I saw the sun light up the clouds around the Cascades. I rushed in and grabbed my tripod, then took a few shots from the driveway with my 70-200 f4 lens.

101 Oil Studies, No. 10
Objective: Flat tone test; high thin clouds following "Moon and Morning Sky" photograph in my "Sky and Space" album.
Painted in 2 sessions: 02 Feb and 09 Feb 2024
Pigments (Winsor & Newton Artists' oil colour: Cerulean blue, lamp black, titanium white. Mediums: Gamsol, Oleogel.
Ampersand Gessobord, 12.7 x 12.7 cm (5 x 5 inches)
Process: In this miniature study, the original wash was very light, so I tried painting the sky as negative spaces between the clouds, later adding additional gestural strokes of white in the clouds.
After Action Evaluation: Clouds are way heavier than in "Moon and Morning Sky" photo. Deeping the blue initially, then adding clouds in thin glazes seems to be the better approach.
