JFK to LAX - five hours and thirty minutes. What an amazing country this is! I see photographs from the minute we take off, until the minute we land. As many times as I have made this trip since 2005, I never get tired of looking out the window at the earth and sky, looking for things that grab my attention. The photographs here, from top to bottom, are: 1. Climbing out of JFK, with Jamaica Bay and the Rockaways in the distance. 2. Irrigation circles in Kansas - farmers irrigate their fields by using a spray pipe connected to the center of the field which travels in a circle, watering the crops. 3. Hundreds of cumulus clouds over the border of western Kansas and Oklahoma. 4. A view of downtown Los Angeles, with urban sprawl in the foreground, on approach to Los Angeles International Airport.
More importantly, did you recline your seat?
ReplyDeletePhotodude may be joking, but flying and the frustration it invokes is becoming a real problem for me. Forget having to sit next to someone who is way oversized and spills into my personal space - everything feels so cramped and unpleasant. Seeing your beautiful pictures makes me want to take a window seat, but it's so claustrophobic being wedged in there! Yes, it's a beautiful country from the air, only wish there was something beautiful about being IN the air.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of the irrigation circles!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time with your daughters.
Happy Anniversary to both of you!! bsk
I did recline my seat. They are designed to recline. What I DO do, is to S-L-O-W-L-Y recline it, in case the person behind me has a laptop in use.
ReplyDeleteI also have to sit by the window when I fly because I love to take pictures along the way.. I am glued to the window the entire flight!! I remember when I was a kid, they used to announce what areas of the country we were flying over, they no longer do that.. thank you for sharing these and the info.
