Description
the man...toward the heights of the tower of ivory he climbed,
rising on his waxen wings;
aiming for the heavens,
he swore to make great his name.
a plan both great in aim and folly,
for divinity is not in accomplished feat.
the crux...
his young body tired, he anxiously gasped for air
as the staples of his wings weakened.
earthen bricks,
the foundation of his civilization,
of his tower, of reason,
began to corrupt and crumble.
the fall...
alas, progress refused to come with his struggles.
one last futile pump of the crude wings,
and he tore them from his back.
amidst the agony and fear, for an instant,
he lay completely still. peace.
and then he fell...

After a whole minute of staring at it I realize how you took it. Either you were holding the camera upside down...or you flipped it after you took it.
Either way It makes a good picture.

All I can think of is this redubbed PSA of a GI-Joe cartoon where a kid falls off a cliff and he yells "SHIIIIIII-!!!"

I know. My humor is stuck in fourth grade.
Awesome shot, though. Really dig the description you gave it.

Very nicely done. When I first saw it, I thought it was the earth below and the void of space above. Such a thought triggered thoughts of some lyrics from the song "Paper Walls," and the chorus of "Rough Landing Holly," both by Yellowcard, and both are awesome. ^_~

This is really cool
The fact he looks like he's falling to Earth is a great illusion spoiled only by the visible grass silhouette at the top, however that is minor
