I snapped them as we walked under the BART rail, so there was a haphazard nature to the composition. In my LCD, I liked the second photo best, even though it could be rightfully argued that the trees and poles are distracting elements in all of the shots. There are times a tone or moment captured in a photograph speaks to me outside the realm of perfection, and that&#8217;s what happened here. Had I time to set up, I would have sought a different angle. But on that day, I was enamored with the clouds as I walked through Oakland. And the contrast of a geometric, checkerboard train against the &#8216;feathered canyons&#8217; evoked, for me, Joni Mitchell . . . and spring days moving past us toward cloudless summers. You could say this felt like my last ditch effort to photograph clouds. It&#8217;s a sentimental thing.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taking in the anomalous May clouds . . . drifting through spring as Joni Mitchell lyrics.
