Is it better to be down there...?

Weeeelll, up there you cannot get your feet wet!
Down there you don't get the same view. But you can look up and see ... well, what would those people have seen? Where were you? Plane? Ultra-light? Paraglider?

I really like the diagonal lines that go through the photo: dry sand, thin line of mildy moist sand, rippled sand, shell fringe, wet sand, the water. Brilliantly composed. The muted colours add to it.

hahah... you would be amazed how many times people would look up and point... I kept thinking "If I were down there, I'd be saying 'what the hell is up with that helicopter circling us?'"

(we were in a helicopter)

Wow, thanks! Very glad you liked it. High praise, indeed!

hahaha... the alarming thing is when you do that, zoom in, and realize the person in the odd thing is zoomed in on you.
