snapshots from the plane

I make a point to always get a window seat when I fly on a plane. With my camera in my hand, I am easily occupied for a while. There's something so magical about seeing a landscape from up above. The way the mountains unfold like crinkled aluminum foil, the way the buildings look small enough to fit in your hand, the way the shadows seem even more exaggerated (though that could just be the time of day). It's beautiful. I could wax poetic about it for hours, but I'll spare you and just show the pictures.

The first three are from flying into Phoenix and the last ones are leaving Reno, I think.







From the last sunset of 2011.

  2. i've had a window seat from ever since i can remember. i didn't have a camera to snap my favorites, i just journaled the whole time. as much as i'd love to take pictures too, there's something about reading your own writing and watching the pictures just unfold. anywho, loved this post! the first one was my favorite :))

  7. It's funny how much alike you girls are. When I'm almost positive it's one of you, I scroll down to the end of the post I find a different name. :)

  8. Does anyone know where I could find camera bags online for under $30? I'm looking for the cute kind, that don't look like camera bags. But they're all really expensive, usually around $200.

  12. I drop a leave a response each time I like a post on a site or I have
    something to add to the conversation. Usually it is a result of
    the sincerness displayed in the post I read. And after this
    article "snapshots from the plane". I was excited enough to drop a thought :-P I do have a few questions for you if it's okay. Could it be just me or does it give the impression like some of the remarks appear as if they are written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on additional social sites, I'd like to keep up with you.
    Could you list all of all your social sites like your Facebook
    page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
