High flyer, Kerala backwaters, India, 2008

As the sun sets on the final evening of our Backwaters cruise, a stork soared high above our houseboat. By shooting at the stork, which was well above the horizon, I removed everything on the ground, making it seem as if the image is made from a plane, far above the setting sun. The light rain clouds provide an atmospheric screen, gradually diminishing as they rise into the sky, almost embracing the stork.

I saw the stork on a mission as well, Tim. If not delivering babies, they are carrying cosmic messages.

It is as if the stork is bringing a message from the sun.
