BEAUTY: Painting--Bradley Hankey

Bradley Hankey's color-saturated images of southern California at beautiful sunsets or glorious sunrises are lyrical and delicious. But it's his aerial shots of Santa Monica and the coast at night that make me swoon--I love seeing lights at night from the window of a jet like that. It's so lovely and provokes profound thoughts about how man manipulates the environment (we can actually light up the night when the sun is not shining) and the nature of reality in our universe (all is darkness unless you are near a star)...
