First Flight

This black and white image is my attempt to reflect the historic episode of the "first flight" that took place in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina in December 17, 1903.


The sculpture of the First Flight, where Wilbur running behind the 1903 flyer mounted by his younger brother Orville and the Wright Monument, a memorial tower at the distant in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. 


Wright Brothers National Memorial is a must needed ideal travel I was longing for since I graduated in May 2013.

The clear blue water at the Outer Banks, with its constant cool breezes is invigorating and inviting. Teenagers fly mammoth-sized kites under a Persian blue sky, undisturbed and unhindered upon the Kill Devil Hills, where the massive dunes continues as far as human eyes can decipher. Also, kids were relentlessly pursuing gliding lessons in ways similar in experience to Wright brothers, who too performed countless gliding experiments to bestow the humanity the conquest of air, which was previously meant only for angles.

At times when we take routine flight for granted, I think its important to commemorate and reflect the epochal achievement the mankind had achieved only over one hundred years ago!
