Description
"Standing on the bare ground...a mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God."~ Emerson
I was lucky to spot these 5 pelicans cruising overhead..on their way to who knows where, or why.

This is an... amazing shot. I mean, it is so simple, yet oddly complex and mesmerizing in some sort of obscure way. This shot is plain, yet intricate and beautiful too. No wonder it got daily deviation. Keep up the good work!

The description makes the admirer of this picture....pause...and take it in for far longer than if it was without the quote.
What a gorgeous package all around well done!

I love this stirring photo. There is something so magical about still photos of flying birds. Perhaps it reminds us of how miraculous their flight really is. (I have a couple in my recent deviations...)
I LOVE the quote. This stillness and extermination of ego is something that I am trying to learn. Thank you.

Very cool. It looks so planned out and set up, I was sure you had changed it in photoshop or somewhere, just the fact that you came across this honestly makes it worthy of note. As if the talent it was shot with didn't already
