Sandhill cranes, though large birds, fly as though they weigh nothing at all…
…way up against the puffy, weightless clouds in the beautiful blue sky.
You can see other interpretations of weight(less) at the original WP post. Or check out a few of my favorites here, here and here.
OK…here’s another favorite from my archives:
Taken last spring on a blustery day, this couple stood on top of the sledding hill flying their kite.
For me it was easier to think about this challenge from the weightless side. But I wonder what I have in my archives that would represent weight.
I bet there’s something.

Love the cranes — and see the clouds as weightless, too.

as ugly as they are I must admit I love to watch the turkey vulture soar in the skies – they just seems to hang there as you say weightless.
