Building Wings

Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.

We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

~Ray Bradbury

When you get done building your wings, and try them out...I hope you don't land in the water. LOL. Ah hem...Beautiful work, John. I love that sky again. Great lighting, too.

No wonder cliff divers are such a contented breed. I guess the same thing goes for skydivers. Hell, anyone that takes a chance on love falls within these parameters. Excellent work Shads. I like the darkness of it myself. It bolsters the mood.

John, This is so beautiful in the rich color and that wonderful sky. I suspect some HDR was used and it was done so well.

Well you have tipped yourself over and let the beauty-stuff fall out with this image John. Love the way the sunlight crosses the path and the way the eye is drawn into the distance by the line of the path and lawn. The sky is really wonderful too. Another of your best - well done!

For me, the shadows seem alive which is what draws me to this. Good one!

There are so many lines leading me straight into the picture, and the light is delightful, it picks up every blade of grass and wind-strewn leaf in a golden shower... Well done! And oh yes Ray Bradbury says it exceptionally well..

Wow... wonderful rich colours and I'm especially enjoying the lighting and shadows! The clouds seem to be moving in the same direction as the path :) Excellent work, and ideal words to live by! :)
