In February I went to California and my Dad and I took a trip along the Pacific Coast Highway towards Santa Barbara. This is not really "my" sky since I live in New Jersey, but rather views of the Pacific sky through my own lens (iPhone, to be exact). The first 4 photos were taken at the Cliff House Inn in Mussel Shoals, where we stayed overnight.

The next day we ventured south to Ventura.

My Dad and I came upon these steel sculptures by accident (a happy one). The artist's name is Tyronne McGrath. We went to the studio and rang the bell, but he wasn't in. Dad called him to discuss his work and where he could get scrap metal for some of his own art projects. McGrath's work was in an adjoining yard and all around the studio. He is a construction worker by day.
Steel Art in sky (I think it's a cockroach on skis)
I know it's hard to tell from this photo, but the yellow-headed guy
is raising what looks to be a bicycle chain in his left hand.
Perhaps he is saluting the sky?
Vive la difference!
P.S. Forgive the formatting: I could not get the spacing
to adjust no matter what I did.

It's so nice to see someone pay heed to the sky instead of just the impressive expanse of ocean. You, I think, have a very interesting mind!

Skypixie, I'm an air sign--Libra--so it's in my nature to be a lover of sky.
Thoth, what a great place to grow up. I did my last 2 years of high school in Hollywood, CA.

L'Heure, I agree. It's very generous to share your art in that way. I have more photos of his work--may add on later.
Scylla, thanks for dropping by.
Nilesite, nothing trumps the beauty of nature.
Zanelle, yes, I could not get the text after the first paragraph to left align and the spacing I put in kept getting deleted.
Alysa, thanks. It was Stathi Stathi's OC.
