Our Magnificent Land!

Westbound from New York, on the way to Los Angeles today. There was a massive snowstorm in the midwest which we flew over, and then we flew into clear skies and could see the landscape covered in snow. The white of the snow did wonderful things in terms of revealing details in the landscape in ways that would not be obvious had the snow not covered everything. I was glued to the window for almost two hours, photographing as the ground scrolled by underneath our wings. This is perhaps my most interesting shot. The whole time I watched, all I could think of was how lucky we are that the United States is made up of such magnificent landscapes. And how lucky we are, to have the gift of wings, to see it all.
