For SKYWATCH FRIDAY
http://skyley.blogspot.com/2009/04/skywatch-friday-no-40.html
A photograph not OF the sky but FROM it this time.
We were on our way up to Queensland from Sydney when I took this photograph.
SAFE DISTANCE.
I'm normally afraid to fly.
I think I am about to die.
I listen to the engine sound
And feel too high above the ground.
I don't believe in aeroplanes!
I'd rather stick to cars and trains.
But when, en route to my destination,
I saw this nasty conflagration,
I changed my mind and felt secure,
Above the bush-fire, safe and sure.
I welcomed the power of flight because
I felt much safer where I was!
If skies are your 'thing' you might like these!

Wonderful rhyming.
going from one extreme to the other
'Up there' is a paradox. Beyond danger, yet full of it. Nice.
Great shot of the bush fire and great rhyme. You're right, being above one of those fires is far safer.
Always something to make me think.
Very cool pic!!!
Lovely photo and equally entertaining poem.
Beautiful photo...everything looks different from above...I smiled at your poem...I'd rather stick to cars and trains also...
