Wordless Wednesday
That is one of my fav stories.
Great image, great story. Happy Wednesday!
This story always made me feel sad for Icarus when I was young. It’s funny how you look at things differently from a parent’s perspective. Now I feel sad for Daedalus!
Shelley - me, too.
Now that Yves Rossy has flown the Alps with jet wings, this story connects amazingly well to modern times on several levels.
