    Beautiful! And menacing. Reminds me of the Breugel painting of Icarus, and the W H Auden poem inspired by it.

    Thank you Elizabeth, "beautiful" and "menacing" are exactly what I was trying for and it is always rewarding to learn when I have accomplished what I set out to do. And being mentioned in the same breath as Breugel and, indirectly, Auden? Well...damn. That's just really truly mindblowing. I feel lucky when people just tell me they like this stuff. To know it calls to mind those masters is just...well, like I said. Damn. Thank you very very very much.
