Description
model: *glazarAdriatic coast, Kvarner
"There is a cheap literature that speaks to us of the need of escape. It is true that when we travel we are in search of distance. But distance is not to be found. It melts away. And escape has never led anywhere. The moment a man finds that he must play the races, go the Arctic, or make war in order to feel himself alive, that man has begin to spin the strands that bind him to other men and to the world. But what wretched strands! A civilization that is really strong fills man to the brim, though he never stir. What are we worth when motionless, is the question."
~ Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Great illustration of the paragraph in the description! Escaping brings you nowhere. You end up right back at yourself.
I like how the water and the sky are one.

Ova fotka mi se toliko dopada da ti to rječima ne mogu opisati. Sve štima, atmosfera, štimung, kompozicija, momenat... Da mogu, dao bih ti pedeset +favova za ovu.

Mozda ce zvucati malo banalno, ali nista ne izgleda dobro kao plicak na kamenoj morskoj obali...a ova fotka posebno pravi dobar prelaz ka beloj, sve u svemu jako dobro i idejno i tehnicki!

The photo shows more or a "carefree" attitude and gives that feeling. Escapism is not a carefree but a highly defensive act.

i was relying on this:
escapism
The tendency to escape from daily reality or routine by indulging in daydreaming, fantasy, or entertainment.
~ answer.com
and that is quite what we were doing there at the coast that weekend.
both personal and photo aspect.

True... my def. is not any different from that.
However, I was referring to the PHOTOGRAPH that you associated with "escapism".. the photo shows more of a "fleeting moment" ... actually very much like of the famous picture taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson ~> [link]

it doesn't have to be that every "jump" is connected with that famous photo/moment. an i mean this in a very kind way. it IS flattering that you did that with my work, but that wasn't where i was going for. and that certainly isn't the only interpretation for any other "jumping" photo. this one was more about leaving the ground, and going to some other place, something not connected with anything on the ground... somewhere new where you can feel other things... somewhere to your own island.
