Maybe for the first time I’m choosing images and writing text
six days before the actual drop-dead date for Cloud Cover, Edition Six. That’s because
we’ll be in the air next Sunday as we return from four nights in Portland, the one
in Oregon. As you read this, we will have attended a concert Thursday night headlining
Thomas Lauderdale and Satan’s Pilgrims, Thomas being the pianist
and founder of the noted orchestra Pink Martini and the latter the Portland
based surf-rock band of which our son Garrett is the newly minted third guitarist. Everybody in the band is a bona fide lead guitarist. Garrett calls The Pilgrims the best contemporary surf rock band in the land. Based on their amazing performance with Thomas Thursday Peggy and I agree. Thirty years young Satan’s Pilgrims were inducted into the Oregon Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame last year.

This post is the swan song of Cloud Cover, the series
that wouldn’t die. These images have earned their way into the pantheon of cloudy greats because the wouldn't take no for an answer.

Pity about your trip to Portland! Hah. That got you out of town, didn't it? And fulfilling the music need as well. Sounds great! But for those of us online viewers, your edition six of Cloud Cover was one of the best. I am a sucker for Point Reyes, any day, any time. One of the great places on Planet Earth, so it was great to see your shot of Drake's Bay. The Sunlit Wall in San Miguel de Allende is lovely with its combination of counterpoints, and the photo of the Brazos near Tierra Amarilla and Chama is just stunning. Rare to see such an effective black and white of those cliffs. Thanks Steve for preparing this in advance for your followers!
