So many things represent us, shows our character, our inner feelings, our life. I chose this picture because the world through my eyes is always moving. Forward most of all, sometimes backwards. My world however also consists of simple, pure stillness. But even when the world is spinning quietly, stillness is waiting to explode into forward motion or motion is waiting to return to sheer tranquility.
Living in Ireland for over ten years now, my world has become one of airports, packing bags and looking forward to step onto that Aer Lingus plane once again. My love for movement is therefore always represented by airplanes, and nothing excites me more than taking off and landing. Flying to and from Ireland is a joy that cannot be replaced.

How strange is this… I just got the ping back notice now! Nearly 6 months ago you posted this right?
Nothing strange… I caught up with all the pingbacks since I was not updating the blog posts quickly enough. Spent a good while adding links posted on the original WordPress Daily Prompt page the last few days :D)
Ohhh… that explains things. I thought for a minute I was still half asleep ;) It is still early morning here in Shanghai.
Cheers and thanks for the pings :)
Yes, no weird stuff going on, just plain old me being very slow with pingbacks and trackbacks :D)
Thanks again :)
Love your airport pic – thanks for the ping back!
Your ping was a lovely surprise, thank you! :) Good luck with the travelling (and MS).
I never fail to get a bit teary when the Irish coast appears. And don’t you just love the bit of Irish that the captain always signs off with?
Absolutely Roy! There’s been times that I wanted to cry when going abroad even, because I didn’t want to leave Ireland behind :D And yeah, Aer Lingus flights… you have to love them for the bit of Irish they add to their service :D
I like the way you framed the picture and how the color focuses us on the airplane.

Thanks Janet! I thought it would be a good idea to have the shape of an eye in the picture seeing as the name of the challenge was ‘the world through your eyes’. And yes, I wanted the green to stand out because of Ireland :)
Nice post.
Thank you!
