Airplanes and Anticipation

For the month of April during the A-Z Challenge I have decided to break from my usual blogging theme of writing and social media tips. I will instead take you on a photographic journey. This journey may inspire you for interesting settings in your stories, it may help you capture a mood, or it might just offer nothing more than some cool pics. Much of it is inspired by the fabulous and helpful site, The Bookshelf Muse. Please check it out and enjoy.

There is something exciting about flight. It's more than just a means of transport. Flight can both thrill and terrify.

For starters, the ability is an amazing achievement. Some have said that if we weren't given wings then we shouldn't fly. Why should that stop us? When we set our minds to a task, it's astounding what we can do.

The anticipation of flight:
Sweaty hands, the thrill of going to a new destination, a fast beating heart, fidgeting, flipping through the magazines, chewing on a lip, glancing out the wind, a flutter in the stomach. For many more great examples of anticipation go HERE.

For great tips and descriptions of what it’s like to fly including sights, sounds, smells go to the Bookshelf Muse HERE.

I took this photo for the way the fumes from the jet engines rippled the air.
