One afternoon in a sunny summer day in Palau in 2011, a Taiwanese co-employee of Roberto Hernandez is taking a shot of this clouds. Roberto did the same and take a shot. He missed a very good one (sunset) while driving along the cause way because it's not allowed to stop while on the two-way lane.

CLOUDS IN PALAU,
NORWAY AND AUSTRALIA
BREAD is an American band that produced many great hit songs like Aubrey, Baby I'm A-Want You, Belonging, Diary, Everything I Own, Games of Magic, If, Make It With You and The Guitar Man.
When they disbanded, their lead singer David Gates continued to go solo and got more popular with his solo hits like Clouds, Goodbye Girl and Take Me Now.

1.Aubrey 2. Baby I’m-A Want You 3. Belonging 4. Clouds 5.
Diary 6. Everything I Own 7. Games Of Magic 8. Goodbye Girl 9. If 10. Make It
With You 11. Take Me Now 12. The Guitar man
Whenever Roberto is playing on piano or keyboard those 3 most popular hits by David Gates, he's always looking at the chords because the arrangement is so smooth yet complicated especially with the specific chords but different bass, which is written e.g. C/E which is playing the key of C but the bass is E.
The song "Clouds" uses the following chords: Major, minor, minor 7th, Augmented, 6th, 7th, Diminish, 7th Sustain and Major 7th. HERE'S THE LYRICS OF THE SONG...
C L O U D S
See the clouds adrift so far below
Never changing as they come and go;
Makes me wonder why I'm up so high
When really I am down so low.
Of all the wonders I was once allowed,
I'd think that I would always choose a cloud;
Always brings me feelin's right out loud
Whether I'm ashamed or proud.
REFRAIN 1:
And on the airplane comin' home to you,
Sometimes I think I've flown my whole life through,
My whole life through,
As I wing my way to you.
See the clouds they're giving life below,
In colors that the canvas cannot show;
Keeping secrets no one else could know
For I'm the one who told them so.
REFRAIN 2:
Now and then I can get up close to you
I'd like to stay but I'm just passin' through;
So I have to say goodbye
Until next time I'd fly.
On our way to Tromso, Norway for 2014 World Chess Olympiad (Aug. 01-14, 2014), I took some shots at the clouds while on board Finnair....
