Alis Volat Propriis

Alis Volat propriis

I had on my bucket list that I wanted to watch planes take off and land during sunset. Ever since I was little I have been fascinated with planes. The lights, colors and sounds captivated me. The fact that you are up in the air, moving through clouds, passing over oceans and land, amazed me. Unlike some people who are afraid of flying and become nervous wrecks, it calmed me. I loved the window seats. I liked to look down and think about all the places that we passed over and if I would ever visit them. It got me thinking that in the scheme of things we are so small. There are so many places in the world that we have never been, never will see, and things we will never get to experience. I wanted to see it all. I think my love of flying and knowing I was passing over adventures below me sparked my love for traveling. Even to this day as we fly over different cities and countries I plan out where I will visit next and what I will do there. 

The pictures posted were taken at the RDU observation deck, around 6:30pm. I couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out. The name of the album is Alis Volat Propriis which in latin means, She Flies On Her Own Wings.
