Between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM today, "LEAVE THE LAND ALONE" appeared several times in sky-writing over Pasadena. I watched (and photographed) from the parking lot in Brookside Park, near the Rose Bowl.
The first time the phrase was written, its position in the sky caused it to appear upside-down from my p.o.v.
I like this shot with only "THE LAND" written over the parking lot, obese with SUVs and mini-vans, and with smog visible against the mountains. The planes were practically invisible as they wrote.
As you can see here, five planes flew side-by-side, building the letters in unison. They were inaudible, at least over the ambient noise where I was.
