Solitude

I’ve flown over many marinas around the world

each tree a single bead in the aerial tableau

As I hovered above

but none so beautifully symmetrical and with such consistency of watercraft as this one in San Francisco

I spotted a small sunlit meadow nestled deep within the stands

glistening in the sunlight

she plans to picnic there on her next trip to Hawaii

I was so enchanted by the twinkling lights and dynamic energy that I almost forgot to snap the shutter

seemingly indifferent to the battle unfolding around it

one of the most iconic amusement parks in the world

As we approached

Two thousand feet above the vibrant chaos of Times Square
