Mystical sunrise in Bagan. ------------------------------------------- "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. " - Henry Van Dyke -
I dedicate this photo to Charlie. Welcome home. I am happy you are back with your family.
Constructive feedback is your greatest compliment; caring enough to bother saying something ... thanks for visiting!
Beautiful colors and silhouettes.

Very warm colours and very fairy tale atmosphere!

Wonderful - dreamy - image Helen! A monster silhouette!

It is very lovely! It reminds me of the kind of scene you see in an animated fairy tale movie. Silhouettes are lovely against the sunset.
Helen - I have put up a quick web page as a welcome home for Jerry's son Charlie. He was due to leave Iraq yesterday - so he may be home by now. Jerry has always been very kind and nice to everyone here, and I know he loves and missed his son. I am copying your link and if its OK with you, may I put it on the web site with a welcome home comment? You can see the page at Welcome Home Charlie

What a unique and beautiful picture of a sunrise. I especially love what seems like two layers of silhouettes.

Stunning again!. Did you ever fly with a balloon? It is like the poem: ones you have done it, you always look up and long to do it again.

I love this image. You got to shot the beautiful pattern, this symmetry is just fabulous with the sky color at dusk time.

You've done it again. The architecture is just amazing.

Wow! It's a lovely and peacely picture. Bravo!

Brilliant. I especially love how the buildings fade as do the balloons fade.
21 Feb 2007 11:22pm
Since I am a fan of hot air balloons I must say this one is one of my favorites. You don't expect to see them on this type of skyline too often. Nice work
22 Feb 2007 12:43am
breath taking... beautiful tones. love the distance and depth the haze gives to the subject.. superb!
22 Feb 2007 6:51am
Wow! It's like a post card!
