Have you ever dreamed of having wings and being able to fly through the air instead of stumbling along on those clumsy contraptions called legs? We probably all have, which is why in this challenge we’re asking you to get outside in nature and photograph something that flies. Our shot above is very literal, but don’t forget that you can be as creative as you want – it just has to be related to the great outdoors & travel and in some way connected to the theme “Flying”!
On Wednesday, December 19th (at 2pm EST, so be sure to submit your entries before that time!) we’ll choose 1 judge’s choice winner, 5 runner ups, and 1 audience choice winner & share their entries here on LetsBeWild.com! Send your friends to this page to leave a comment-vote for your entry to win the audience choice award!

I hope you enjoy this flight! Have a great week and thanks to all at Let’s Be Wild for the photo challenge!
Great flight photos, I think they depict the closest thing to flight humans can ever experience outside of one’s imagination.
Unique interpretation of the theme Barbara!
It follows the rules! It is outdoors and it is travel related! 🙂 Congrats on the honorable mention! Lovely photo!
Wonderful photos. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be up there in a small plane. Thanks for showing us!
