My travel-loving soul has been yearning to hit the road for quite a while now, but as I am stuck in one place for just a little while longer, I am easing my Wanderlust by making great plans and leafing through my travel shots for photos filled with movement, like this little bird just launching into flight in a Manhattan park.
Rush hour traffic moving ever so slowly across Dublin‘s Beckett Bridge.
The horse tunnels of Camden Market, filled with exquisite cantering, galloping bronzes.
Along the shores on Long Island, I spent hours trying to capture that perfect moment just before a wave breaks. It’s almost like the ocean holding its breath ever so slightly, waiting to exhale.

I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move. – R.L. Stevenson
All experience is an arch wherethrough gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades for ever and for ever when I move. – Alfred Lord Tennyson
Where's my backpack?

Great theme this week Ailsa. That wave is beautifully caught showing the iridescent underside. I’m dancing this week… https://memoriesaremadeofthisblog.wordpress.com/2015/09/19/travel-theme-move/
How much fun, I wish we all had more opportunity to dance, don’t you? 🙂
I do when I get the chance Ailsa
What a wonderful way to describe a wave.
I find the ocean captivating, Dawn, I can spend hours just staring at the waves and listening to the crashing surf, there’s something so primal about it. 🙂

I feel much the same Ailsa. Here’s mine: https://almostitalian.wordpress.com/2015/09/19/move/
How lovely, Francesca, I wouldn’t mind going for a bit of a fly in that blue sky too. 🙂
I love that analogy, “like the ocean holding its breath ever so slightly, waiting to exhale.” I grew up near the ocean and I love that moment right before the wave breaks. And you captured that moment beautifully both in word and image. Hope you get the chance to “move around” soon, even if it’s just a spot in town, a street you’ve never gone down or a touristy spot you’ve always been avoiding. Thank you as always for sharing.

The horses bring back great memories of a rainy day and a great walk along the canals to the Camden Market. Thank you!

I am just returning to WordPress and am not sure I did this correctly. I, too, love watching the moment just before the wave breaks. Your analogy is spot on. Please let me know if this submission works. Thanks.
