Flight
“We swung over the hills and over the town and back again, and I saw how a man can be master of a craft, and how a craft can be master of an element. I saw the alchemy of perspective reduce my world, and all my other life, to grains in a cup. I learned to watch, to put my trust in other hands than mine. And I learned to wander. I learned what every dreaming child needs to know — that no horizon is so far that you cannot get above or beyond it.”
–Beryl Markham, West with the Night
Did you use a fisheye lens for your i-phone or did you use a software tool to transform a photograph.
However you did it – the result is strange and science fiction like! I like it very much!

Thank you, Stefan. I used the Fisheye Pro app for the iPhone. I’m glad you like it.

That looks like one of the flir thermal imaging cameras that they have on helicopters. I like the quote very much!

Cool … but what is it really? I like the Buck-Rogers-kinda-look. Nicely done. D

Hi, Dave. It’s an old airplane, with the propellor featured in the center (but with an off-center perspective). Glad you like it.

I don’t have a clue what this object is. But, it works with the quote. Ah, “…to put trust in other hands than mine.”

It is a distorted view of an old airplane and its propellor.
Yes.

Fabulous vintage science fiction. It’s beautiful, but what on earth is it?

So happy you like it, Richard. It’s a distorted fisheye view of an old airplane and its propellor.

Very steampunk. The sphere rose over the the remnants of Lost Vegas as the sepia shadows danced in defiance. 🙂
