Silver City















Silver city: I was in Reston, Virginia (outside Washington) and found myself, reluctantly, at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. I was surprised and impressed by the incredible design, colour and beauty of the air crafts. I love the Clipper Flying Cloud. It is big, silver, shinny ... just like a beautiful piece of jewelry. While this was an war aircraft (painted olive and grey during the war), Howard Hughes had a similar plane to this for pleasure and entertaining the ladies. Now, I would have been one happy passenger.
