My dream is to fly over the rainbow so high... (Explored!)

Handheld shot, using my little Sony CyberShot DSC W80 at full (3X) optical zoom. The bird is a pariah kite (Milvus migrans govinda). The sky was a dull blue when I clicked the bird taking off from a neighbor's terrace.

Used an overlaid texture from Angela Wolf. The texture can be found here.

One of my first experiments with textures in GIMP. I don't fully like the outcome yet, but I thought I've experimented enough for now...

Thanks for visiting!

The flight of dreams looks best when viewed on black...
