Got Milk? [personal projects]
Tuesday, 19 August 2008
On the way home from a wedding late the other night we came upon an unexpected sight….the Hood blimp parked in an air strip along Route 130 in Marstons Mills.
It had been a very long day and we were completely exhausted. So, the impulse was to keep going, straight to our beds. But, the sight was too hard to pass up. We stopped, got out our tripod and camera and tried to capture what we had seen.
With it’s lights still on, the blimp lit up the night sky and with an end-of-summer fog hanging above the warm ground, the scene was at once arresting and ethereal in the most surprising kind of way. Check it out…
We got home about 45 minutes later than we would have. But, it was worth it…don’t you think?
My Aunt saw that blimp one time… apparently from a weird angle because she almost crashed her car staring at it… she thought it was a UFO. I’m glad it was grounded and you didn’t make the same mistake!
Totally worth it. What a cool thing to share with Eldon. He is infatuated with that blimp!
