learning to fly


learning to fly

Into the distance, a ribbon of black, stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept beach, standing alone my senses reeled
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies, tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Steve, I think you've missed your vocation in many ways! Perfect sky. And I love the silhouettes, as well as the water lines on the beach. Gorgeous.

Beautiful golden tones, some sun rays, a beach at low tide and a kite...perfect. I have never seen such shallow beaches and tides that run so far!....guess I ought to get out to more places.

Very nice Steve, I like the low-low tide and the silhouette. The heavy clouds edged with light really apeal to me.

Wow, I love everything about this shot, the vastness of the beach, the lone person with the kite, and the light through the clouds, perfect verse, stunning !

HI Steve - this is brilliant - the hilites of the sun behind the cloud and its rays reaching into the sea .. the lone figure with the kite .. in this vast land where there is no end .. another lesson in taking photos
