An Aerial View of Crossville

"An Aerial View of Crossville" by Eric Buechel, Oil on Canvas, 32" x 32", 2017. I created this piece using a photograph I captured during my first date with my wife, Kathy, as we flew over Crossville, Tennessee, in a Bell UH-1 military helicopter, hanging out of the machine-gun door. It was an incredibly thrilling first date.

Above Crossville

In a chariot of silver, we rise through the skies, With the world spread beneath us, a breathtaking surprise. The blades spin a rhythm, a dance in the air, As we soar over valleys, with dreams laid bare. The sun paints the horizon in hues of gold, While whispers of laughter, our stories unfold. Crossville below us, a patchwork of green, Where the rivers weave tales of the places we’ve been. With the wind in our hair, and hearts set afloat, Each moment a treasure, on this magical boat. The lakes shimmer brightly, like jewels in the sun, In this moment together, our journey’s begun. We glide past the mountains, their majesty grand, In the silence, we find what words can’t quite stand. A glance and a smile, the connection ignites, In the heart of the heavens, our spirits take flight. As the helicopter circles, the world spins away, In this fleeting embrace, we wish we could stay. For a first date in the sky, over Crossville’s embrace, Is a memory woven, in time and in space.
