I love window seats on flights, but lately there seem to be nothing but cloudy skies out the window. I thoroughly enjoyed your flight to Valencia. It reminded me of why I am a geographer.

I've seen similar pictures taken from the plane with the unique administrative organization in different countries on the globe, simply amazing! And the diversity is really impressive and it really drives you to the thought that this is really what makes this world so beautiful:) Wow, great pictures!

I love how contrasted they are, if you hadn't mentioned, I wouldn't have guessed these photos were so geographically close together. Thanks for sharing. Stunning photos!

Very cool! It is so interesting how culture reveals itself when someone takes the time to look. Yes, geography dictates certain things, and yet, how each nation carves up the geography, primps & trims its landscape (or not) does seem to reveal something about the essential nature of national culture. Thanks again, Keith. Another great post. Gwen Hey Keith

Every time I look out an airplane window and think "Wow, that would make a great shot", I remember that my camera is in the bottom of my knapsack under the seat in front of me, and the hassle of pulling it out overcomes my desire to take a photo. :-) Great shots, Keith!

If I don't have tissues, I use the paper air-sickness bags (without tearing them). :-) It's a hilarious sight each time for the person sitting next to me; the looks I get... LOL! :-) As for the photos, I usually lower the exposure (especially on clear days) and take various photos with different ISOs. You also need a very good zoom. I take my photos with either a Canon Ixus 970 or a Canon G11. Hope this helps. :-) Cheers, Keith Hi Vera & Nancy,
