Sky Panoramas
“The sky has no boundry, except where it meets the earth. We have yet to colonize the sky, though it is not free from human influence. Chemicals pollute it, vapour trails rocket across it, and our metropolitan lights put out the stars. Yet, point a camera at the sky at any location on Earth and the resulting photograph will not easily reveal where you were standing. The sky, aesthetically, has little sense of place--the salient distinct alterations that bely countless generations of human influence.”
