We then attempted to compare it to elements of Norman Rockwell and Edward Hopper, with Dali's sky. I suppose the takeaway is that photographer Darrin Lupi has given us a very cleanly composed, pleasant and painterly image of a quiet winter walk.

I think of Edward Weston when I see this photo.
The simplicity and wistful qualities of clouds bring remembrance of times spent doing mundane, ordinary tasks, and upon looking skyward, feeling lifted as though by angels.
And then they are gone.
