That was one of THE most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I’ve had a lot of dreams at night (all my life) where I fly, not in a plane but using my arms. Interestingly enough they always feel like wings and FEEL exactly like this video looks. Oh my word, there is SO much beauty in the world and every time I see it I just never understand how we humans can have wars when there is beauty all around us.
I love the way the light shines through their wings. And the grace of their movement. When I lived in the rainforest in Australian I used to sit and watch the Flying Foxes leave the mangroves at sunset and fly into the forest to feed. The sun would shine through their leathery wings and looked much the same. Only it is a slightly different wing motion.
Thank you, Bill, for posting something so breathlessly beautiful
