SP Friday: Fly By

Cardiff by the Sea

I had lunch at the Beach House in Cardiff today with my longtime and good friend Tom Packard. As I looked out on the ocean scenery I could see his reflection in the glass (see below). So I switched places, and asked him to get a shot of me for my Friday SP. Wow, this one really makes you reflective. There is a lot happening here; the surfers (sharks be damned) behind my head and a genuine (non photoshopped) sea gull seemingly trailing the biplanes

I saw those bi-planes when they stopped to fuel in Yuma! I would have loved to have time to snap them in the air but didn't get them all. fun to see them here, I've never heard of them before

Now this is great Robin.
Surf, sky, planes, shark-bait...and of course your handsome mug reflected in the window.
Really nicely done.....

Very artistic SP. Where did those biplanes come from?

When Cindi arrives, are you arranging a 21-gun salute?
