Sunset From Above the Clouds

Our flight left Maui after 6pm. It was a good thing we had rented the car. Tom dropped me in front of the airport and went right over to return the car. We had to get there pretty early to go through all the normal pre flight process (they only have one body scanner the rest are the old kind), but they have an agricultural scanner, also. Not a big deal, but one more stop on the way home. By the time we had arrived at the airport we were already pretty tired from visiting all of our favorites that day. We had a quick up and back down at Honolulu. After 1 1/2 hour layover there we started the very long leg back to Dallas. Thankfully, I fell asleep for most of that leg. With three hours in Dallas to kill I think we ate breakfast. I honestly don't remember. We finally got back to Greater Cincinnati International at about 2:30 the next day. I took this at before the touch down in Honolulu as the sun left us, or we left it in the skies.
So pretty.

What a fabulous shot, Cathy. Sometimes that view out the window is so beautiful--and this is one of those. Fav.

The flight home is never easy, and sure seems so much longer than the one going, eh ; ) I am so glad you had such a wonderful time, and glad we could share in some of it through your pictures.

From the plane shots are some of the best if the subject is good and the subject in this one is good! Beautiful!

@katieannb @jayberg @amandalomonaco @soboy5 @happypat @steampowered @vskolnik @jackie8 @annethomson @yonnie @girlie @jesperani @grammyn @abhijit @cottoncandy @swilde @boxplayer This is one of those shots that if you are a little older you can get away with anything. I was bending over the seat to shoot out the window behind me so that I could get the wing in there and give a bit of perspective (see what I have learned here) and the guy in the seat behind me was very gracious about the seat in front of him suddenly almost being in his lap. Crazy photographers.
