This is a lovely photo and lovely description!

Reminds me of classical ballet. Although rife with feminism and its destructive forces today, the classics in their older stagings are excellent and show exactly this: the beautiful woman reaching fantastic heights and daring to defy gravity itself in the steady hands of her prince. My favorite ballet moment was getting to dance the grand pas de deux from the Nutcracker. It begins simply: the prince escorts the Sugar Plum Fairy onstage and the dance begins when the prince offers his hand to her. Simple, classic, and emblematic of the truth written into our very beings.

A lovely picture, but also your words are a lovely reminder of how we can think more deeply about ordinary things.

A memorable and beautiful image. No question who is the man and who is the woman.

Reminds me a little of a dance, like the comment above a ballet, but thinking more of Ginger Rogers / Fred Astaire era and all the dancing and balancing in heals
