Cool Photos from Airplanes

For some people, flying is terrifying. They don’t like heights or confined spaces, so it freaks them out. I have some of those people in my family, and they always make sure to sit in the aisles. This way they have as much room as possible and don’t have to look out the window. But if you don’t look out the window, you miss some really cool stuff!!

I have seen some amazing things out of my plane window—the New York City Skyline all lit up at night, the Grand Canyon, for example. On the way to Las Vegas, I once saw a string of wind turbines on the edge of a series of cliffs. I really regret not having a camera on that trip, because that sight was amazing. There have been a few trips, though, where I have had my camera. Vacations, mostly. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from flights to Hawaii and Alaska.

 

 

 

 

Readers, what is your favorite sight from an airplane window? Have you been lucky enough to get a picture?

Longest hallway ever…..

I am probably the last person in the world to have downloaded the Instagram app onto my phone. Honestly, I’m not totally sure why I resisted for so long—it’s so fun! I had no idea my photos could look so cool! Anyway.

A few weeks ago I was in Miami. For those of you who have never been there, it is quite a hike from the rental car facility to the actual terminal. Luckily for large pieces of it there are moving walkways (which, being 7 months pregnant, I did NOT feel guilty for using!). I was in the middle of one of the incredibly long hallways when I realized I was completely alone, which is pretty strange for a very busy airport. It makes for a pretty crazy couple of pictures!

Behind me, a long hallway....

 

Ahead of me, an even longer hallway!

It kind of looks never ending doesn’t it? I’m just glad most of the moving walkways were working!!

A little flying fun

This morning I got to fly on one of Southwest’s Shamu plane. This is actually the second time in a month, which is unusual for me. The best part of it is seeing the kids’ reactions to flying on Shamu. Priceless! Now if only I got to fly on the Texas flag plane….
