It's funny, I looked at this several times as a thumbnail and it did not click until now that it was yours Petra, I think it was the color that was throwing me off your trail. :) What a great euphoric feel to this image, as if you are taking flight toward the sun. Beautiful.

Petra Oldeman lol Tracy, i guess it was time for me to show my happy and shiny side!! Guess people might think i'm a very depressed person with all the moody and dark photos in my archive. As i said before, i almost went B&W with this photo, but i loved the colours to much to remove them.
Thank you for your lovely comment!
