In the days when travel was easy
I always look for the window seat
For part of going some where
Is the distance we move to get there
And that makes the journey
So much more interesting

Please indulge me
As I share what I have observed
From my window seat
On “Head in the clouds Mondays”
Looking like a castle in the cloud, a dream world. Beautiful shots.
I tend to use my photos as backgrounds on my computer, and when that one popped up it was like a wow moment
Thanks
Beautiful pictures! I always wanted the window seat, too!
I agree, I always wonder why more folks aren’t interested in what is laid out below them. When I get on a plane I think of which side will the sun be on in the direction I headed
Nice, Jon. Some of us may not be traveling, but our memories are still with us.
I agree Judy and sadly usually my trips involve hundred if not thousands of clicks, always sorry for my seating companion
Wonderful. It brings back so many stories on the two overseas trips I have taken. I saw the Himalayas from above.
It sounds like a wonder to behold it like seeing pictures of folks flying over the Apls
I take the middle or the aisle. I don’t mind the journey but I don’t want to see where we will go if we don’t make it to the destination. π
I can understand and I’m happy to take that window seat. I figure since I up there it doesn’t matter whether I look or not. We are all there together
Thanks
It is also a matter of comfort. The window and aisle seats afford a couple of extra inches which mean a lot to someone like my husband who is quite a bit bigger than me. Not so much for me.
Love these photos and writing.
Thanks for your kind words
You have a gift for capturing the unreal.
Thanks and gratefully it was real and I got to see it. I once flew into Vegas and the landscape I saw was sort of magical I would love to give it a place on a map sometime
Glad to hear that someone else also appreciates window seats.
In my post on the carbon footprint of space tourism, I commented on how few people seem to even look out the window anymore, while somehow thinking that it’s OK to blow through a decade of CO2 emissions for a few minutes above the clouds with Bezos. https://greenstarsproject.org/2021/07/22/carbon-footprint-space-tourism/
I glad you also enjoy the window seat. when we do have to travel by air. You know my first time on a plane I was 45 and flew right over NYC and I had to control my excitement, Now with my wife’s kids in AZ and mine in NC that is the limit of our 2 yearly trips. Thanks for your comments.
Gorgeous captures!
Thanks, I offend fantasize of flying over the whole earth, when the weather is just so to see all the wonders below
Ever thought of getting a pilotβs license? π€π
I never get tired of the window seat on a plane and watching the patterns in the world below. The clouds fascinate me even from the ground.
I couldn’t agree more especially looking down at the clouds below and the shadows they create on the ground. Thanks
