About

A single-engine floatplane is captured taking off from the surface of a calm body of water, creating a distinct white wake behind its pontoons. The aircraft features a white and yellow exterior finish. In the background, rolling hills densely covered in evergreen forests stretch across the horizon under an overcast sky. The composition is horizontally oriented, highlighting the open water and the natural coastal landscape. The image was captured by photographer Nicholas Maggio.
