Winter Floatplane Takes Off at Twilight in near Mansoura

Winter Floatplane Takes Off at Twilight

by Cruz Campos

Cool blue twilight washes over a frozen Mansoura lake as a white floatplane angles upward into the falling snow. The aircraft's pontoons skim the dark, mist-laden water, kicking up a fine spray that catches the fading light. Snowflakes drift heavily across the frame, softening the distant shoreline where bare winter trees stand as dark silhouettes. The plane's fuselage gleams with a pale sheen against the deep indigo sky. Ripples spread outward from the pontoons, disrupting the glassy surface just as the engines roar into the cold air. The diagonal line of the ascending plane cuts sharply across the horizontal expanse of the lake and sky. A final wisp of exhaust smoke trails behind the tail, dissolving instantly into the gray mist.
