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.

Here are some clouds somewhere between Seattle and Arizona, from that otherworldly perspective, above. I don’t know why it’s exciting to see clouds from above, but it is. I think it activates my childhood fantasy of bouncing or resting on them. Anyway, I thought it’s pretty.
