I was walking out of the Mido Center where I work, and I saw the clouds:
How could you not want to take a shot of that?

Dude, you would not believe how many people I saw taking pictures of the clouds when I left my office early yesterday evening. You would think that people have never seen clouds before.
ReplyDeleteWe do get these from time to time, and I will admit that I have taken pictures of them before as well. Yesterday I did not. I just enjoyed them and thought of my favorite descriptive phrase for clouds like this: 夏雲多奇峯.
That's the thing about living in a place with millions of other people: it's nearly impossible to have an original idea. If you get inspired by the heavenly light around a cloud, you can bet that there are at least thousands of other people who've been similarly inspired. Maybe there's something reassuring about all of that shared experience, but it's also a bit oppressive to realize just what a regular prole you are.
ReplyDeleteThe Google Translate rendering of the Naver entry for that Sino-Korean phrase (하운다기봉) is: "A word that refers to the abundance of strangely shaped clouds in summer." I'm guessing that a lot got lost in translation.
