Whenever I fly I’m always struck by the beauty of the sky and landscape I’m flying over, unless I’m flying over North Dakota. Even a cloudless day over a empty ocean has a certain elegance to it that holds your gaze longer than one would expect. But no matter how striking or beautiful the sky it almost never translates well into the camera. The photo above was taken in between Venezuela and Grenada last Christmas and even though the picture is nice it pales in comparison to what it looked like in person. I took a dozen photographs of these clouds and got only a few good ones.
