Figure 1 – Helicopter, Salem, MA. (c) DE Wolf 2020

The other morning there was a confluence of new helicopters circle Salem after a traffic accident. The sky was a perfect summer’s morning filled with cumulostratus clouds, and I was struck by the dance of the helicopters between the clouds and, perhaps, more so by the fragile skeleton of the helicopter set against the domineering soaring clouds. And of course, the shut down has given us gorgeous blue skies – a world with diminished pollution.

“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
