Leaving Canada ..early morning ..Sun breaks trough
flying here over Ireland.. towards Amsterdam ...
***************************
On a day like today,
persons left
the airport,
with family
and friends.

There hearts where heavy,
and mood was sad.
For they knew the time
has come to leave
this Heaven and
return to the
far lonely
world
elsewhere.

Unsettling feeling
in there hearts,
a kind of longing
to stay back forever.
A kind of familiar loneliness
that they where acquainted with,
comes to them again.

Bravely, they forced
a smile at there
loved ones.
Without much of
a second look,
they bid them
farewell.

In the plane,
they sat,
with eyes closed,
reliving those
wonderful
and fond
memories
they left behind,

and those sweet voices
and carefree laughter
that accompanied
every single image
that went fleeting pass.

I'll see them again soon.
Take care, my loved ones,
I'll be back.'


*****************************

Thanks for your time Folks

Hello John mon ami,

the plane really flew between two layers of clouds. It's impressive. But it seems to go towards the best, the sun appears as well as the clearness of the sun in front of the aircraft.

Me personally I would be reassured to see Superman with a so dark sky, with the dramatic aspect on the wing of the plane .

Welcome to your sweet-home John
Corinne

Excellent management of lighting in your composition. I like it.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi John.
Wat een geweldige opname, groots.
En dan de bijbehorende tekst prachtig gekozen. Dit Doet mij denken aan Jan Wolkers die ook schilderijen maakte met daaronder een gedicht. Het zegt mij iets van de waarde en kundigheid van deze opname.
Perfect.
Groet Frans

Great John! Sometimes I get a little tired of clouds from an airplane window but this is good, love the contrast of light & dark. Well done & framed. Liked your poem too! Happy you liked "Rose & Granite", thanks! :} Don

Hello Sir John,

Your have provided an spectacular view on the wings of KLM. The cloud patterns are just fantastic along with partially visible blue sky. An excellent airborne shot, well done.

Thanks for sharing an aerial moment.

Hello John
I love the way the clouds are opening up for the jet to fly through. The dark shades in the clouds give off a dramatic mood. The wing with flaps down must mean your climbing. A very interesting view.
Nice poem too.
