Hi Rick,
Thank you for your comment. The lines that you see are probably from satellites. The region around the equator seems to be full of them. I sometimes lay on my back on these warm summer nights look up into heavens and see up to half dozen at one time.

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means, and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again, since it is life.
