A Strange Angel Appears to be Flying in the Mid-air
Abstract
“Floating in the mid-air, an AF Dance Theater's ballet dancer's limb stretches out during a performance of “River” in the Elstad Auditorium at Gallaudet University. A ballet dancer looks like he is almost ready to take to the sky.
This photo inspires me with awe and a desire to describe what I feel and what I think about this unique photo. This photo is to show you the visitation of a heavenly angel, appearing to you in a dream by night. A strange angel joyfully makes a dramatic acrobatic move and leaps beautifully in the mid-air. The appearance of the angel is bright like the burning charcoal of fire. The angel gives a comfort to the suffering of a woman as he makes the darkness light.” – Andrew Robertson
