Life is like flying on a Wing and a Prayer...

            As long as my wings stay on...
Because I'm above the planet of clouds,
like a wing and a prayer and with my grubby halo
of vapour trailing behind into the empty air
and across the clouds.
I can see my shadow fly from out of the corner of my watering eyes.
Only to dream of being unthreatened by the morning light, that could blow this soul right through the roof into the night!

This is totally something different for me and my group 
to do! And also, the first time for me, in capturing aeroplanes coming in and down to land.

Taken from the Sheldon Country Park, which runs the borders alongside the Birmingham International Airport.
Which there is a great viewing point of the runway for aircraft enthusiasts.

So, I am very well pleased with the performance of my 400mm lens, getting excellent clarity captures and also, in editing these captures, I used Luminar AI plug-in tools in PhotoShop, for for enhancing the sky and clouds for better viewing! As it was a very bright sunny sky, with only a few clouds on that day.

Many thanks for your cool comments and compliments from you here, my good flickr friends !!!
