Finally - I have returned home from our Long journey
Thank you all for being so patient and kind when I was unable to respond to your wonderful comments....Thank you ALL so very much!

I made this image one evening a few years ago while I was on the way home from work, when we were still living in Pennsylvania!. I could not let this one go without grabbing a shot! I hope you enjoy. And once again, thank you SO very much!

- " We do not move forward from a middle opinion, which is undemocratic but mediocratic.
We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)

- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson.

::Words from Denny:
- My beliefs, and values, have always been strongly tied-to music, especially Jazz, and Blues.
- The following artists and lyrics seem to "sum-up" where my spirit resides:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE;
"HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRIT,
ALWAYS FEEL YOUR SOUL....
HONOR THE MAGIC IN YOUR HEART"; Earth Wind and Fire

This is utterly beautiful, Denny. Amazing how for a few minutes the sky is able to surprise and please us again and again. What good fortune that you had your camera with you that day!

@franz: I was tired and I just wanted to get home but Mother Nature had better ideas....and I am glad she did ;-) This is not the best quality image but still it speaks to me just as you note here. I am so glad and so homoured that an important and beloved friend named Franz likes this also ;-) Thank you so much, Cheers Sir <3
