Default Life at 40 thousand feet (or 400)

2 from a recent trip .. handhelds for fun .. OOF .. I just like the contrast ..

40,000 feet

life at 40 thousand feet

somehow 400 feet doesn't look near as safe ..


life at 400 feet

That shot of the jet is really great. The trails are wonderful, and I see what you mean about the safety factor. TFS

Come fly with me, lets fly lets fly away, if you can use, some exotic booze theres a bar in far bombay, come fly with me, well fly well fly away

And it would probably take copious amounts of booze, exotic or otherwise, to get me up in either of these, I don't do aeroplanes, great pictures as always Ian

We were boating in the first and I had the camera on landscape so it was open for everything to be in focus as best as possible .. we were doing the officer's lounge thing on the dock ..
