EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom

The fact that you were in a microlight aircraft flying so close to the water to capture this in flight shot, shows true dedication Suzanne..... Ha ha

This is wondeful. Outstretched wings, U-bend neck and undercarriage down, what a fabulous photograph. So well seen
