Airborne
I created this tribute for my good mate Andy Mueller who is going through a rough time at the moment.
For those who don’t know… Andy’s Buddy, Robert has suffered a series of strokes which have left him partially paralysed.
Andy has been travelling backwards and forwards from his home in Virginia to Arkansas, to try and help his friend get his affairs in order.
Andy, you are an inspiration mate.
This image was created using two separate images (one of the C-47, the other of the clouds) Lots of layering, filters, dodge and burning and so on…
Its meant to symbolise that even though dark clouds gather, there is a path that leads to victory…
or something like that.
:o)
Airborne belongs to the following groups:
Sentara Group, War and WARBIRDS Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Wow ! .. this is an awesome image Michael… The imagery says escape to victory – but also puts into perspective the scale and power of the elements – the mightiest force to be reckoned with …
Michael Bermi... replied
Thanks Ashley!
I am an avid Storm Chaser as well as An amateur War historian…So you can see that the use of both of these elements was right up my alley!
