So yes, the globe is Italian. I might first have seen Australia there as my parents lived in Italy until I was three, and I have distinct memories of looking up at it - though probably from well after we'd moved to California.Today's pic is a cloud overhead during one of those fabulous Southern California sunsets (three days ago). It's nebulous shape and color (like a nebula!) sort of corresponds to the way I feel considering I'll be in Australia a week from now, living I know not quite where, hanging out with I know not yet whom. But I suppose the light's coming from a sun which has already slipped over the horizon to shed more light on places like ... Australia!
