The text issue will probably preclude further attempts.

Bar?  Where? ;}

 This is a test.

this is the dawning of the age of aquarius...

This is the aging of the aquarium of dawn.

Dawn is known for lots of colours, but not blue or green, which is what you'd
think aquariums are... hmm...

once the sun is moderately high up you can see blue in the sky that isn't
right next to it.  Usually there's the nice pinky reddish orange stuff in the
East, and varying shades of blue for the rest of the sky.  I have to agree
with you on green, though.  

Maybe the green got reflected from the ocean or grass below the sky.
Why is the sky blue?
Why is the grass green(er)?

I don't know.  A gold-on-purple paisley sky would look so much nicer...

a purple paisley sky would be neat but I'm not sure if you'd want to put gold
on top of that... it might start to look... gaudy

No, gold paisley on a purple background.  Or for that matter gold and purple
paisley on black.

Why don't we just have a tri-coloured sky?

Or we could just rent it  out--eliminate the need for skywriters by doing it
directly!

"Yes, I would like to purchase that portion of sky between 40N and 41N
degrees latitude, 100E and 110E longtitude, and yes, I'd like to
paint it hot pink wiht lilac polka-dots."

If folks could figure out a way to do that, they would.

Hello, from the eastern front.

And in the far east, a front moves in.  Where sleeps the sun?

Test.
