Photography: After Burn by Dunny

I was thinking it’s about time I post again, and this photo popped into my mind. I found it a while ago and I had it all set up to write about, but when I tried, I just couldn’t pinpoint exactly the thoughts or emotions it evoked in me. Now, I think the best I can do is say this…

Sometimes when it seems that things should have just gone up in smoke and disappeared into nothing, all the sudden they take off and something amazing comes out of it.

But I still don’t know if I got it. Also the fact that a child is holding the match (or at least it appears to be) is very significant. There is so much potential in every human, especially children.

This photo is very inspiring and filled with hope and pleasant surprises (maybe that would put it best )

Pleasant Surprises

If you were a refueling boom operator, you might have had a view much like this as the SR-71 came in for a fill-up. (Maybe a little lower.) He’d drop out of the sky from 80,000 feet and suddenly appear, top off his tanks, and be gone again. Magic…

That is amazing!

Photography: To be alone with you by Erin T

This picture speaks to me too. I think I have a thing for clouds and the sky. As the name suggests, this would probably be the ”romantic” version of Fantasy Fair Ride in the Sky.

I went to the fair recently, but I missed the Ferris wheel ride, I really wanted to go on it. One of these days I guess.

To Be Alone With You

When I first saw this photo, I was drawn to it because of it’s surreal fantasy fun aspect. I could almost hear the kids laughing and screaming with the theme park music in the background. But most simply this picture reminds of a carefree day in the sun. Days that I don’t see to much anymore in my adult life, but I do long for.

The sun and sky in the background also play a major part. I guess it somehow connects this carefree happiness with the heavens and with God (I often find myself drawn to pictures with clouds in the sky). The fact that the camera is looking up at the subjects probably helps this affect too. But then again, maybe it’s just me. I showed this to a friend, and she only said it made her dizzy, lol.
