This week’s Photo Challenge is An Unusual POV.
Each morning of a multi-day kayak camping trip, this unusual point of view becomes more and more usual. We laze in our sleeping bags for just a few more precious moments, idly studying the airy patterns of the tent above that begin to glow as the sun climbs higher in the sky—
Sigh… now it really is time to get up, or we won’t get far today…

As I viewed your photos for this post, I got a feeling of airiness…as if I was floating around the sky in a box kite. :)
I’ve gone camping many times and always loved to see the morning sunlight shining through the fabric of the tent. Your photos brought back those good memories. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, that’s the feeling I was trying to convey :-) After a nice night of course—we didn’t put the fly on the tent that night as we were pretty sure it wasn’t going to rain—the sun gradually warms and wakes you up to the blue skies and gentle breeze… :-)

I had a little sailboat. I used to lie on the bench and look up at the sails. I always loved the view. Thanks for the pictures … and the memories.

They do look kind of similar, especially when you are only half-awake… ;-)

The photos don’t do it justice! There’s also the warmth of the sun, and now and again a cooling breeze, the smell of the fresh grass… :-)

Do try it! Of course, it helps if your first experience is on a soft, warm, dry night in the summer… otherwise you might find that a tent can be a little too sensitive to the wind of heaven ;-)

Maybe cubists designed the tent? ;-)

Please don’t be insulted when I say that your photographs brought back the 30 year old memory of sunlight shining through freshly laundered sheets on my clothesline. The collected fresh smells of rural Oregon clinging to those bed sheets lulled me to sleep on many a night.
