Alps Soaring 1

    I took this while on an an early morning flight from Munich to Rome. The flight was on a rather small commuter jet from Alitalia, meaning we flew low. I took these pictures from my window, and then a flight attendant on a power trip told me I couldn't take pictures on the plane! Unfathomable! There is no reason why one cannot not use a camera while on a plane. Tragic because the view got even better, as the mountains moved into a better composition :(...

      I understand completely! Check out my aerial views set! I have had to put the little Minolta DiMage in the sleeve of my coat or my shirt to "sneak" some pix! WONDERFUL picture! So glad you got it!!! I love aerials and if I could I would fly everyday!

    5. mfuru (79 months ago | reply)

      Beautiful capture...perhaps if you had asked the attendant if you could take his picture (he probably needed a little attention)...

      I think I would have taken more shots when that twit was somewhere else and bothering someone else. People like her really need to get a life. Wonderful Shot.

    8. Murfomurf (79 months ago | reply)

      Gorgeous shot! Dream shot! You did very well to capture this- it's so difficult to get the right angle on a plane window to stop reflections, let alone get past the old and young devils who don't want you pinching their view for 5 nanoseconds!

      Fantastic shot and lighting, really beautiful sunbeams and amazing scenery! Great job catching that from the plane... and what a stupid flight attendant! Ignore them. After all, what are they going to do- throw you off the flight...? :oP

      WOW! Really breathtaking!!! You are happy to have seen that in reality :-)
