A message in clouds to the city of angels.

Did anyone see it from the ground today?

The pilot next to me commented that he had never seen skywriting from above before.

  1. Awesome. This must be a super rare find! Great job. From the little picture I thought you saw a crop circle! 😉

  2. Great catch – so interesting!
    "…TO…" ?

  3. Exceptional, very good photograph.congrats

  4. I did, from Silverlake. I’ve been seeing these periodically throughout the week. If it’s marketing, it’s dumb, because I couldn’t figure out what the hell it meant any of those times. I figured someone was shooting a TV commercial or something.

  5. I saw it from Marina del Rey. I thought Terrell Owens was trying to get our attention.

  6. Imagine the fun it was to do that! You had good luck to see these man-made clouds from above. You often get to see great things from the plane, Steve!

  7. i saw the Starship Enterprise on the thumbnail…

  8. I’m with biotron. Great shot!

  9. Certainly a different perspective!
    I came across something today, in my friend, labspics stream, ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/labspics/ ). Thought you may like to check it out. If so, it’s here: http://www.dobfoundation.nl/nl/nieuws/2008/prototype_u-specs

  10. Right you are – a new design for universal glasses – very cool.

    I have an early prototype of another approach on display in my office:
    Corrective Computer Vision

    These are user-adjustable eyeglasses from Adaptive Eyecare, a U.K. based company seeking to provide inexpensive vision correction for the billion people that need still it (according to World Health Organization estimates).

    Using elastic mylar lenses filled with a highly refractive silicone oil, they created $5 glasses that the user can adjust for each eye, without an optometrist or expensive lens grinding infrastructure. One product fits all, and can even be shared.
