Tangled Airstrip

Hunting empty trails, launching from tangled
airstrips into a world just out of reach,
a cricket waits for the wind to break.

    Crickets chirping, they wait for their audience before starting their starry symphony. Music made to invoke memories of sweet summer nights, if you listen closely…
    This moment, this capture: pure poetry, my friend!

  • Rick said:

    Thanks Diane. Hard to keep up with crickets.

  • Steve on G+ said:

    Really cool shot! Love the colors and interesting composition.

  • Merrill Ann Gonzales said:

    Rick, Is that the true color for those crickets??? Or is it something you’ve photoshoped in? Very interesting….

  • Rick said:

    The color is more intense, Merrill Ann. But they are more translucent when I backlight them like this.

    This is absolutely awesome. Love the verse, the colors, and the framing… Excellent post, Rick…
