There's nothing much to see at my sky right now. It's just a blanket of grey. A typhoon went and another arrived---what can I say, we're a typhoon super-highway. So I'm sharing with you skies from a few months ago, in mid-February to be exact. Taken in Clark Field during the hot air balloon festival.
I felt like a kid as I watched the light planes glide across the morning sky. I stood, my eyes turned upward, as they soared to the clouds, weightless in flight.

When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. ~Leonardo Da Vinci

I suddenly got sentimental about Phil skies. I miss the rainy season the most. I love when all the trees sway to the music of a tropical storm.

ReplyDeleteIt's seem to look like dragonflies taking off.

Beautiful captures Luna.
ReplyDeleteThat last shot is terrific!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of air traffic though - a little scary that many so close. :)
nice cloudy sky and I love the planes !
ReplyDeletei agree, everything's grey and it's constantly raining.
ReplyDeletewe desperately need to clean our neighborhood, the flooding gets worse each time, i wish the gov't would do something about it....:(
beautiful captures luna!
hi, arabesque! the gov't has its hands full. garbage should be every person's responsibility. we should have learned our lessons from Ondoy. to drown in a river of garbage--imagine the epitaph!
ReplyDeleteLovely sky, and the last photo is so suggestive of lightness and adventure.
ReplyDeleteThe sun will come out eventually!!! What fun to be soaring through the air--something I'd like to try sometime. Hard to believe that quote was made by Leonardo DaVinci--he did draw up plans for a "helicopter" of sorts. A genius well ahead of his time! Have a nice weekend. Mickie :)
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy this post. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Boonie
Nice photos! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun sight to see all those plane in the air. Lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteoh my! totally gorgeous...these shots are fascinating...thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteyour post reminded me of one valentine's day that we spent in hot air balloon fiesta in clarkfield pampanga. it was a nice experience.
ReplyDeleteoff topic: thanks for the kind words you left on my comment thread. somehow, we're comforted. thank you!
Great shots ... and thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteso many old planes. Great shots. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you're in between typhoons. How great it is to have an archives to draw from. :)
ReplyDeletenext time, you fly?
ReplyDeleteWe heard about your tyhoon.
My honey in Manila keeps me informed of the wet weather you're having, and I hope the worst of the typhoons will be done by the time I get home next week. Da Vinci was right, but I wonder how he knew that! Interesting sky post, Luna. I think I mentioned before the hot air balloon fest is one I've been wishing to see.
ReplyDeletePS. And I SO agree with you that people need to get off their duffs and clean up their own neighborhoods. How difficult can it be to gather a clean-up group through the village associations?
ReplyDeleteNice series of shots. Last time I was at Clarke, the Americans were still running it.
ReplyDeleteI really wanna see those planes by myself :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a nice weather now...
