Looking up over Jeziorki

A beautiful cloudless day over Jeziorki. Halfway down ul. Trombity, a pigeon loft takes exercise. By chance, a northbound Boeing 747 passes overhead at 35,000 ft. The juxtaposition of flight - white birds, white contrail - against a clear blue sky is quite stunning.

Wow, that's a great photo; it would make a wonderful poster or postcard!

A truly inspiring photograph - the two types of motion seen, the concept of flight, the juxtaposition between the modernist tearing trails of the aircraft with the ancient lyrical beauty of natural flight. The deep resonant blue of the sky - It's a stunningly poetic image and inspiring. It has transported me on the slipstream away from the anti-winter and grim reality of white collar life. Your photographs are artists' canvasses to be sure. The vapour trail is also like a searchlight of hope.
