When I'm so high up in the air at sunset, a sparkling, twinkling city--made even more magnificent by the dusk--laid out before me, I can't help but feel an incredible sense of awe. It's so gloriously spectacular and I feel so small, yet so privileged to witness a sunset from a bird's eye view. Flying does that to you, makes you feel a wonderful sense of amazement, no matter the circumstances. Lord knows I've been in planes often enough, but each time the wonder never fades. I could be content watching sunsets from a few thousand feet up in the air every day for the rest of my life...
much love,
carlotta

Wow, these pictures are so gorgeous. I've always wanted to fly in a plane and look down to earth. Maybe one day!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have some pictures of that same city, taken from a plane in the evening. That skyline is marvelous.
That is so beautiful Carlotta! What is Chicago like? I have always imagined it to be a bustling city were the subways are always full and at Christmas time, the whole city is decked with red and green lights!
ReplyDeleteSimilar, except the subways aren't that full (the loop, the train above the city, is) and the lights are all colors. But otherwise, yes. It's very beautiful.

I live in Chicago and it's a busy city. The subways and buses are usually quite full, and not only around rush hour. A lot of the city is decorated for Christmas - it's so beautiful and even after living here my whole life, I'm still amazed daily.

ReplyDeleteAaaaaaaaaaah! Chicago= <3 I actually live rather close to it...
ReplyDeleteWow, these photos are so gorgeous, Carlotta!
ReplyDeleteIf I become breathless just looking at these (stunning, btw) photos I can't imagine what it will be like to see a whole metropolis from way up high!
ReplyDeletebeautiful, carlotta! i live in chicago, and have all my life, and i must say it's so breathtaking to be here. there's always something new that amazes me even after seeing the city day after day.
