Description

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air, Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, A state of bliss Can't keep my mind from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I. Excerpt of lyrics from Learning To Fly by Pink Floyd

I saw these planes flying in formation through the clouds and was struck by the sense of joy and freedom the pilots must feel. I have been fortunate enough to fly in a couple of small planes before, and even got to pilot them for a little while. It is quite a rush and very hard to become earth-bound once again. I hope everyone had a good weekend and I wish everyone a wonderful week! Thank you for stopping by and for your comments on my last two images, What These Eyes Have Seen and Colorful Swarm.

The sky alone looks fabulous with those visible light rays - and the planes are an added bonus. Now if only you could show us the dark side of the moon I'd be REALLY impressed :)
