[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We were flyin' over the Solomon Islands, more or less, at not more than 5-6000 meters 'cause hard turbulence at the normal altitude cruise at 10000 meters.
The weather was really bad, with thunderstorm and powerfull wind, and the travel was a really bad experience for not less than the first 2 hours after the take off from Hong Kong.

In that image, with the classical window-airplane quality troubles there is giant ray of light on the Pacific Ocean.
There were 2 big cargo ships (i think, or maybe aircraft carriers) that were under the light.
I think that isn't common to see the only one ray of light over hundreds of miles of the Pacific Ocean exactley over 2 ships...

i' don't know what it means...maybe i should be work as a sailorman?
or a fisherman?

;)

or i was just lucky!

Hi Paolo.

An amazing view!!! It's impressive how the light breaks the darken on the sea.

hi paolo
Well to be true with you it is not so uncommon as you think to have 2 ships right in the light spot over the Pacific on the contrary this happens all the time... jokking..
Interesting setting mostly like some 'dark mood' Rembrandt painting but with lack of some motif - still the result is good in a graphic way of thinking - maybe mostly like something in a dream..

Interessante immagine che mi ricorda un quadro impressionista. Le sfumature di colore e di luce la rendono particolarmente accattivante.
Bravo.

Quelle drôle de texture! Mais les couleurs sont très belles et très profondes. Ce qui est bien, c'est que malgré ce flou intentionnel, on arrive à deviner de quoi il s'agit.

excellent one. nice note to complement the picture.

Ufff, what an omnious cloud, I would hate flying in such conditions... But at least you were rewarded with this marvellous view!

Cheers
Alexander

Hi Paolo,
beautyfull artwork, the light is well handeled good contrast with dark tones!!!
regards,
imre

Strana foto, Paolo.
A prima vista non ci si capisce niente, e mi ero detta : ma guarda che strano, anche Paolo ci mostra l'ennesimo tramonto senza senso rispetto alle finalità di TE... impossibile!

E infatti nella nota si è chiarito (anche letteralmante!) tutto!

Quindi in conclusione... grazie per aver condiviso questa foto e questa esperienza ma solo nel racconto, ché in concreto non la invidio affatto!

Ciao Paolo!
What a bizarre landscape! Alien encounter experience? :-)

Hi Paolo,
I agree with Jack's (jri) remark about the Rembrandt look, as this resembles very much a rather mystical oil painting. The unusual light and shadow effects are so dramatic. The vertical format is well chosen here for added impact. Well captured.
