Nevada sky
Taking photos out of an airplane window is very challenging, and my trusty little point-and-shoot Canon camera does its best. I really want the quality of a big camera, but I don’t want the shlep (means haul around), to use a New York expression. Sometimes even borderline image quality still has some appeal, at least to me. I love this moody effect, and I hope you enjoy it, flaws and all.

Well I think your point and shoot did a very nice job! That Nevada sky looks quite nice from the perspective of an airplane window…I wonder what it looked like from ground level? Beautiful capture!
Thats seems like a painting, just look at the layers in the picture, its awesome, i liked it. I can feel it quiet, peace and so silent nature.
Great view from up there! It really looks desolate down below. Happy skywatching…
Looks so calm and it’s really a great shot!
Lovely pic Sara!
Don’t have mountains like that in Ohio Thanks for sharing
Wow … my little point and shoot never captured anything so lovely through the window of a plane. I love the subtle mix of colors in this beautiful vista.
Hugs and blessings,
Oh I love it – all the layers upon layers of mountains, and the jagged peaks, and the brown folds of the earth.
Great shot. Always a fun persepctive from the air.
Great shot of the mountins, I like the layer look.
Sara, beautiful photo… my kind of serigraph.
