Photos from a Window Seat 2026

 It's time for my annual Photos from a Window Seat post! If you're new here, I always pick a window seat when I fly and my favorite thing to do is look out the window and watch the ground below me go by. So these are my favorite photos from my last year of travel. (Please bear in mind that a window of an airplane is not super conducive to photography - scratched and dirty windows, sometimes a bit of ice, fingerprints - but I still give it a the college try)

Flying through San Diego - I've been told the pilot needs a special training to do this
