Terminus: A late afternoon in July

Tell me, enigmatical man, whom do you love best, your father,
Your mother, your sister, or your brother?
I have neither father, nor mother, nor sister, nor brother.
Your friends?
Now you use a word whose meaning I have never known.
Your country?
I do not know in what latitude it lies.
Beauty?
I could indeed love her, Goddess and Immortal.
Gold?
I hate it as you hate God.
Then, what do you love, extraordinary stranger?
I love the clouds; the clouds that pass up there
Up there, those marvelous clouds

~Charles Baudelaire, The Stranger

i love the shades and hues in the last shot.
reminds me of the lighting and color in my dreams.

Well if anyone from the Atlanta Tourist Bureau is interested I'll gladly sell it - a man's gotta buy his comic books somehow!

Yeah I enjoyed the last shot for it's sense of grandeur and ominous brooding. I like clouds that remind me of giant floating monsters ready to descend upon the city in a ravenous fit of destruction.

Baudelaire has always been one of my favorites - the luxurious decadence of his language I suppose. You're welcome.
