    speechless... the pure essence of flight, no, of the dream of flight...

    i have this wonderful book by Hiroshige

    and your photo reminds me of his watercolours, the same openness of the space, the same quiet contemplation of the unfolding of life, in the smallest of details...

    1. Roxana: hiroshige is wonderful :-)

  2. James, this image, these moments. This is a gift, this seeing, freezing (but not!) that ancient, sacred, ghostly essence.
