Above the clouds Photo

Photographer’s Note

There's a place where the sun breaks through
And the wind bites cold and hard
Stings my ears and
Tears my eyes
When the day starts to shout out loud

Stand tall
And glide
When you're all alone in the crowd
Don't fall
Don't hide
When you walk above the clouds
When you walk above the clouds

When the light is against your face
And your smile is soft and sound
That's when you tell me all your fears
and all your dreams
So proud

I try and tell you
to keep your head upright
Don't swing your sword and shield against the night
Don't block your blessings, boy
You don't have to fight
You don't have to fight

Une image prise sur le vol Lyon-Lorient, juste pour se souvenir, en ces temps de ciel gris, qu'au-dessus des nuages il y a toujours du soleil !

A picture I took during Lyon-Lorient flight, just to remember, while current weather is grey, that sun shines above the clouds !

Las nubes se aprecian de manera sorprendente con el reflejo del sol increíble toma felicitaciones

I like very much. Rather difficult through the plane windows that are usually not very clean.

Bonjour JB,
Cette mer de nuages est superbe! Quelle bonne idée de nous rappeler que quelque part le soleil brille toujours, même si de notre point de vue, on ne voit que du gris.
Je ne suis pas trop fan de l'inclusion du soleil, ainsi en pleine face (surtout à cause de la manière dont le hublot déforme les reflets). La lumière dorée m'aurait suffit à savoir qu'il est là, brillant de tous ses feux :-)
Amicalement,
Marianne

Bonsoir JB
si ce n'était pas dangereux on se laisserait bien tomber dans ce matelas de nuages ;o) j'aime bien la prise et l'idée de se trouver au-dessus de la mélasse.
A+

Salut JB,
Joli velouté de nuages. Une image faite par mille voyageurs mais bien difficile à présenter.
Amitiés
Marc

Salut JB,
Beautiful photo and the lyrics :) You had luck with the plane windows not to be dirty, or that's your post processing skills to make it this clear? :) Beautiful scene above the clouds...
Have a nice week,
Sneza

Hi JB,
Very interesting tilt, not something we see often en for me this really works to create an even more dynamic feeling to the view. The colours here are a slo a strong key, the yellow and blue look very natural and gives it an even more stronegr feeling to all this...very nice work.
Regards, Henk

Bonjour JB,
je reconnais bien Nantes :-).
C'est chouette d'être au-dessus des nuages, on voit toujours le soleil. J'aime la déclinaison de la photo.
Amitié.
Daniel.

Excellent ce tilt.
C'est bien réalisé.
Bonne journée

riclopes (32857) 2008-11-10 1:05

haha, indeed it shines, JB. I love these sights from the plane and that's the reason why I love to go by the window. This sea of fluffy clouds is a dream accessible when for the ones that go out of the planet... ;-) Beautiful tilted compo as the plane makes the curve.
rgds,

Bonjour JB,
Je reconnais bien là le paysage typique Nantais :) Sauf que l'on est au dessus des nuages, et non dessous. Une très belle image cadrée selon ton style. Un travail agréable et créatif.
Bonne journée
Amicalement
Joël

Interesting tilt, giving the impression the plane is banking. The result is a creative and artistic image.

Salut JB,
Belle prise qui nous fait planer au dessus des nuages.
J'aime bien le cadrage d'un bout d'ail dans le champ.
Bonne soirée.

robiuk (10763) 2008-11-10 13:30

One of the rare shots directly into the sun - and this one
is great as it really recollects that strong scorching
sun even from inside the plane. beautifil controll over the light, JB!
Cheers,
Robi

edytungkal (4513) 2008-11-11 0:19

Despite the harsh light was against you, i think this picture is very interesting and just imagine if you cap without the sun maybe will give a different perspective. Nonetheless its a nice picture JB, tfs.

delkoo (33924) 2008-11-11 12:19

bonjour jb,
un exercice difficile que tu as parfaitement réussi, la clarté éblouissante du soleil s'oppose bien au moutonnement des nuages, tres original.
