Despite oohing and aahing for most of the trip though, it didn't occur to me that I had my camera in my bag until we reached the Alps. And thank goodness it finally did, because there the show really started. First there were the lower mountains, punctuated by long, twisting valleys with tiny houses clustered along the bottoms ...
But then we got into the high peaks. Where were we exactly? I'm not sure. Could that have been the Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn in the pictures below? I wish airlines would tell you where you were more often. German Wings used to have wonderful little screens dotted around the cabin which showed you your route, and exactly where the plane had got to, but even they seem to have discontinued it.
Wherever we were, it was a flight I won't forget.
For more great photos of the sky and from the sky, check out the Skywatch Friday site. Of the photos already posted this week, some of my favourites were on Stony River in Ireland. Enjoy.
Pictures tha really takes my breath away!!

ReplyDeleteWhat incredible photos! I would say they were Mont Blanc adn the Matterhorn and stick to your story. ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery stunning photos taken from a plane. Wish I had a camera like yours. Beautiful mountains.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures from the air. I love to see the snow covered mountains and the forms they make.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.
Hello! The snow cap mountains are so beautiful! (reminds me of Nepal-Everest). But these mountains ranges are awesome! You are so fortunate to see them for yourself :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning..at least you pulled your camera out in time! Wow, too bad they don't give you a little info..I'd need all the help I could get..ha and then I'd have to hurry and right it down!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend-
Wow! Great pictures Sue! And fun with a different skywatch / gittan

ReplyDeleteReminds me of how much I love flying over the Alps - espcially the turbulence. Great plane photos too - which is a rarity.
