Silhouette Sky #82 St Louis

It happened here first.

First successful parachute jump from a moving airplane in 1912.
The ice cream cone in 1904.
First class of Iced Tea served in 1904.
7-up was invented in St Louis.

The Gateway Arch is 630 feet tall, making it the tallest monument built in the United States.

This is another one of my miniatures, drawn with Ink and Colored Pencil.

Silhouette Sky #81 Chicago

Orange Sky

Wild
turbulent over the city Orange and yellow
swirls.

What storms will it hold
how strong will the winds be.

Dancing fire in the orange skytonight.

Silhouette Sky #80 Toledo

A red sky lights up the night,
Keeps your heart full of warmth,
Fills you with passion without greed,
This red sky at night,
Was just what you need.

A red sky lights up the morning,
With a beauty untold,
It wakes you from your sleep,
And heats up your soul,
This red sky in the morning,
Was a what made you whole.

This fiery passion inside,
It is much like these red skies,
Driving you from the warmest of days,
To the coldest of nights,
This fiery passion inside,
Never let it die.

The poem is “The Red Sky” by Joshua Adams
