The rising sun breaking through ocean cloud, seen over the wing as my plane approached Singapore on November 16 or so, 2010. This was the midpoint landing on the way back to Australia. Air travel offers the chance of such sights, amazing views of day's beginning or end, of storms and panoramas of the Earth below, and I miss this a lot. Of course, the filthy windows, with persistent drops of condensation between the inner and outer panes that turn to ice crystals at altitude make first-rate aerial images more a matter of luck than skill for the casual traveller. But there are still endless opportunities, and on every trip I had a window seat and my camera to hand for this very reason. This image is unretouched, just as it came from the card.
