"Just like an eagle

I will dare to go even

beyond the sky even if it is the limit

But wait will the sky allow me beyond it

or will it say i am the limit......."

Poem by Charity Nduhiu

Soulis: Sky's the Limit.

"Sky's the Limit" at O'Hare International Airport. (4/9/2018)

The subterranean 262 meters (860 ft) moving walkway at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois bathed in neon light from the installation, Sky's the Limit (1987), by Michael Hayden. The walkway is part of the United Airlines terminal that was designed by Helmut Jahn; the terminal was listed as one of the 150 favorite structures in the United States by the American Institute of Architects.

"Sky's The Limit" is a song from 1990 by Soul and R&B band Tony! Toni! Toné!, and when I processed this photo, that old song started to play in my head. What also immediately came to mind was the very last scene of the final episode of "Star Trek Next Generation" (one of my most-favoured TV shows of all time) where TNG's main characters meet for their regular poker game, and Cpt. Picard joins them. His words "Five-card stud, nothing wild... and the sky's the limit..." are TNG's final sentence.

But enough of this fangirl stuff. "Sky's the limit" is certainly true for that bird up there soaring Berlin's skies freely. But what about the other birds in the frame, the ones you can't see? Because the "net/mesh and steel frame" in my image belongs to two large aviaries at the Kranzler Eck's patio (the former Café Kranzler was West Berlin's most well-known café). Despite being located at the busy heart of City West, the patio is a pretty relaxed place with not too many visitors, and the aviaries are spacious and also offer enough shelter for about 100 birds (mostly parakeets, but not only) who greet the visitors with quite some noise.

Processed in... well, Color Efex is what I remember because I did the finishing touches in that programme today, but this image has been a work in progress for a while so I don't recall all the single steps (as usual).

Please note that the info on the lens is wrong. I had used my Laowa 7.5mm F/2 lens, but had forgotten to change the lens info settings in the camera, so it still "thought" I'm using the 6mm lens which I'd borrowed earlier from my Mom, magrit k..

Wishing you a beautiful second half of the week, dear Flickr friends!

Training wheels edition.

Nevermind the length of life.

What if you have just one day ?

Would you stay sleepless ?

What if you have to learn everything ?

Would you stay open ?

What if you have to touch the heart ?

Would you come over ?

What if you have to live it up ?

Would you walk slower ?

Would you come closer ?

Would you talk louder ?

Would you cherish silent more ?

I don’t think so.

You would remain the same idiot as you ever was.

nevermind!

better use some flavour

(woohoo cinnamon for every meal!!!)

meal tastes better,

life runs slower,

enjoy and smile more … :)
