Postcards from 35,000 feet - 2.0
The United States celebrates it's Independence Day this week so I'm highlighting some photos I've taken from flights I've been on over the last year showing it's beauty from the air. Hope you enjoy them!
The snow-capped Rockies
Cloud cover just before landing in Los Angeles
The sprawl of Los Angeles once we made it through the clouds
Lake Powell
Love the pop of blue against the desert of this reservoir (?) in Utah or Arizona
Not sure but possibly the Colorado River - or maybe the Green River
The sun in the clouds
An early morning view of San Diego
The black line is a road going through the middle of nowhere
Bryce Canyon National Park from above
When you fly into San Diego, you fly very close to the city
A sunrise view on the way into Dallas
It looks like the clouds are dancing on the water between San Juan and Ft. Lauderdale
A boat cruising down the brackish water off the coast of Charleston
Just below the red dot is Zion National Park in Utah
The aqua and navy water off the coast of Florida
And one more of that stunning water
Windmills just outside of LA
How about you? Do you choose an aisle or window seat? Do you take photos of the scenery on flights?

Very spectacular air photos! I am not very good at that. Besides, I don't like the window seats on the plane, so no chance of taking any photos at all, hahaha! #TheWeeklyPostcard
ReplyDeleteI was curious to see who likes window or aisle - because no one wants the middle, right? - and I thought that aisle would be the most popular. Thanks for the link-up - and for visiting The Unpaved Road!
DeleteGosh, what a great photo of sprawling LA and the lonesome reservoir. I have a couple of incredible shots taken from the air too. One where the plane wing looks on fire, but it's just the sun! Nice idea for a post #TheWeeklyPostcard
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annette! And thanks for visiting The Unpaved Road!
DeleteI never thought that looking at photos from a plane's windows would be so interesting or pretty. Great idea and great photos.
ReplyDeleteI become quite bored so I am constantly scanning below to see if there's anything interesting - especially on long flights. Thanks - and thanks for visiting The Unpaved Road!
DeleteYou have so many great photos! I prefer to sit on the aisle so, I do not have the opportunity to take pictures. My husband does take some photos but they are not as good as yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ruth! All photos were taken with my phone cause my "good" camera is usually packed tightly away. I'd love to take some with a real camera and see how they turn out, though. Thanks for stopping by!
Deletebeautiful photos #theweeklypostcard
ReplyDeleteThank you! And thanks for visiting!
DeleteWow you've gotten lots of pretty pictures while flying! I hardly ever get lucky! I have a cool one from London though! I do miss the thrill of flying in/out of San Diego and how close you get to buildings! Thanks for linking up with #TheWeeklyPostcard!

Flying into/out of San Diego is crazy! I was warned by my niece though so I was expecting it. Thanks for the link-up and thanks for visiting!
DeleteAn unusual viewpoint! Thanks for taking us along! That black line of a road is just awesome.
ReplyDeleteI loved that black line, too - and I only could tell it was a road from seeing a car or truck on it that you couldn't see in the photo. Thanks for visiting, Betty!
DeleteThose are great photos and a fantastic concept. I wish I could be at ground level, though, for those two of Mighty 5 from Utah.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Rhonda - the Mighty 5 are so incredible I would love to go back, on the ground. Thanks for visiting The Unpaved Road!
DeleteI loved seeing your images of USA from the air. This is the reason why I always hope for a window seat. Happy travels. Happy Independence Day and thank you for visiting my blog this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jill! It's good to meet another window seat aficionado! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteStunning photos Jill. Looking out the plane window is never boring.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! I agree - it's never boring!
