Flying Above

It's only when
you're flying above it
that you realize
how incredible
Earth really is.
...Philippe Perrin

This photo was also taken when leaving Florida from Tampa International airport. I switched this out with a previous photo. I liked the colors and patterns more in this one. The houses remind me of Monopoly pieces. Earth looks so interesting from above. It is hard to choose which photo to use when you have 1380 photos to choose from. :)

I was sniffed by a search dog, put through the x ray machine, had my hair checked and my checked luggage was opened and gone though both coming and going by TSA.

Best on black.

Looks like a puzzle doesn't it. Beautiful from above. They are keeping us all safe by checking you out. Smile. I do wonder about the airport checkings.

@henrir But...I am not the one they have to worry about! Haha!

Great shot! Flying now can be such a hassle compared to the 'good old days'

@lyndamcg I know...I miss the good old days when flying was fun! I would fly by myself to visit family during the summer when I was age 8-10.

Lovely shot from above. It is a shame we have to be so vigilant these days when flying.

A fabulous shot from above. Safety comes first, although it can be a pain ;-)

Love the colours and how the water is like a snake all over the shot.
