When driving thru San Francisco, the immediate concern is keeping a close eye on the traffic in the lanes around you. Often, your concentration on the traffic is go complete, you may be oblivious to how gorgeous the sky is, which is why this mural, on the Central Freeway overpass (many feet above ground level), is an appropriate reminder. Here you are, sailing thru the air on the freeway, above ground level, and in the clouds. Any mighty pretty clouds they are!
