Seeing 2011 (#159)

For your consideration: evidences of past voyagers echo visitors apparently moments from touch down.

The parallel contrails, which unexpectedly rhyme with the tower's columns, provide the essential structure to this composition.

There is something of an ominous feel here: one hopes the unseen runway is not smothered and rendered invisible to the pilots in charge. More acutely, an illusion of a dirigible mooring post (complete with gauzy line) hearkens back to another, long past, landing gone terribly awry.

(The photographer can report that the vessel captured here reached its destination without undue difficulty.)
