'There is an interesting story behind this photo work: When I used to live in Queens, New York in 2000, I took this photo at my neighbourhood near Laguardia airport . I just found a beautiful abstract cloud/smoke from small air plane, so I took this, but laterI knew Yoko Ono made a skywriting work at same day at Manhattan New York! So what I took can be some left over smoke of Yoko Ono! I think the airplane tried to throw away unused smoke before landing. 'The sky after Yoko Ono'!' –Shimabuku
