Heaven and Earth 4 [Original Photography]

Dear dreamers,

todays pair of photographies reminded me of the myth of Icarus.

Often depicted in art, Icarus and his father attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Icarus' father warns him first of complacency and then of hubris, asking that he fly neither too low nor too high, so the sea's dampness would not clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them. Icarus ignored his father's instructions not to fly too close to the sun, when the wax in his wings melted and he fell into the sea.

Here is a painting showing Icarus and his father Daedalus for comparison:

Neither flying too high, nor too low is an art, which is difficultly to master. Oviously it's essential to find the fine line in between. This concerns all areas of live, including this platform.

I'm wishing you a serene resurrection - Thanks for watching!
