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.

... And I don't know if I'm just dreaming Don't know if I feel sane But it's something that I must believe in And it's there when you call out my name... from: LOVE IS IN THE AIR (John Paul Young)
Kort, this is wonderful.... Freedom, YES! Endless ranges... I love the atmosphere here! Sensational shot, the colours are brilliant!!!!
I believe I could fly, I believe I could touch the sky; Think about it every night and day. Oh well, I wish I had sound to this post, lol. Excellent capture. Those clouds seems alive and ready to consume the airplanes. Excellent shot Kort. Aloha
Very beautiful shot, the sky is so beautiful and the three planes adds the kick, excellent shot !
really a wonderful shot ! Love the atmosphere that is displayed by this photo ! Bravo Kort !
Most excellent composition and quite superb light! I too have flown small single engine aircraft and the sensation is quite memorable! Well done indeed!
grandiose ! THE freedom!!
Very nice to imagine the freedom they must be experiencing. Hey! I heard a dust cloud is coming your way. Could make for some unusually nice sunsets. Hope it's not to much of a hazard though. Great work! KP
Awesome sky
Agree with your words... It's even stronger when you don't have any engine, no sound except the wind. Just you and the nature below your feet! Great shot!
