And up above, they play!

On the way in a recent domestic flight scheduled for the evening, I was witness to a celestial spectacle from my window seat.

We have always marvelled at nature's creations on earth - mountains, plains, rivers, waterfalls and the like. What above the ones above the earth?  Between space and earth? 35,000 feet above?

Clouds of white, with the sun shining brightly, appeared in varied shapes and sizes, giving a surreal feel to existence at that height. Cotton candy. Balls of cotton......... wait..........bales of cotton! At places, clouds were looking like whipped cream and at certain other places, disturbingly, like the mountain of dust after a nuclear test.

The shapes were ever changing. Contrasting with the azure of the evening sky, it was a sight to behold!

As if this was not enough, this happened.......Twilight. The best part of the day. The colour of the sky at the horizons changed from light and bright yellow, shades of dull and bright orange, red and pink. The varied patterns contrasting with the reflections on the clouds. What a panoramic vista it was!


It just sunk this in me....while the Gods create on earth, up above, they play!
