How fast time passed by
The transience of life
Here and now we
are gone in a heartbeat
a dream in the
passage of time
chances are fading
this world isn't waiting
the moment is passing you by

Moved by sky vs. structure, the escape in flight from the canyon to the peaks of the tower.

great my friend - I like the scenery and the darkness of the image

daina from New York, United States
Beautiful and dramatic - the clouds look like water or is it water that is reflecting clouds? The position of the bird almost on the line between the building and the "atmosphere" is perfect.

Ian from A tranquil leafy place, United Kingdom
Awesome light on both the building and in those clouds.

Great contrast...the cold, lifeless monolith against the ever changing sky and the free will of the bird.

Ones again, Sharon, very strong photo in all it`s softness. The bird gives the image all the poetry. And at the same it could seam cold and graphic. Good work!
