Oars for the Sky

Oars for the air of the sky

I originally did the planet, rings, and moon for Simple Photorealism using Persistence of Vision. When I wrote Silver sail and gold, above a dappled sea I added some Greek rowing ships.

Produce ships and sails which can be used in the air of the sky. Then you’ll find men to man them, men not afraid of the vast emptiness of space. — Johannes Kepler (Letter to Galileo)

The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it. — P.J. O’Rourke (Parliament of Whores•)
