I love it but I would change the title to "The Wings of Prometeus". He is believed to have given fire to humans.

With all my love and respect,
Marzena
Hey Marzena, I had a few titles circling around regarding Greek Mythology. Icarus' wings melted when he flew too close to the sun. These clouds have now disapated into the sky, so I used the title like a metaphor. I actually did have Prometheus in mind at one point. The clouds could also pass as flames whipping out. Perhaps I will do another version as a tribute. Thanks for sharring your thoughts, I appreciate the idea..

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
Business first.. got that one in my skies fave file..
WOW..this is magnificent and while you and Marzena argue over mythology and the correct title to give this one..I'll just try to fly to the sun and see what my experience is..I'll check back with you later with a report.
One of the most impactful and significant sky shots that I've seen in a long time..Well done and a 10 if I get it in the voting booth.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Just an awesome photo Jay. I think title is great but so is Marzena's. Irregardless, the photo is out of this world. Can't say much more than that.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
