Mine is here !

my faveeee

En-route from London to Manchester

The plane banked sharply and I saw this looming up.....grabbed my camera just in time!

It has a strange mix of order and disorder to it, don't you think?

Oh no...you don't do you? You aren't, are you?

Bloody nice pic all the same...
Posted 45 months ago. ( permalink )

yes, the angle you caught is simply amazing. it's weird - most cars are either red or blue or white. in germany, i think 80% of cars are either black, dark grey, silver or midnight blue. this is much more colourful!

so frustrating when others have used up all the superlatives. so here's a quote from Plato re your title and your image: He who can properly define and divide is to be considered a god.

Simon Harb says:

Surface mounted components on a circuit board. References to the Matrix seem entirely appropriate. I find it interesting to look at the colour distribution of cars in car parks. I sit overlooking one where there is a preponderance of silver and black cars. I suspect high paid execs like silver cars....?

Wonderful shot Ken.
Posted 45 months ago. ( permalink )

loungerie says:

amazing shot! I really like the title too. And I'm surprised about the colour of the cars...a lot of red and blue ones. In italy most of the cars are grey...

BTW - how come you always get clean windows?

Keith - the closer to the front, the cleaner the windows. Behind the engines is nearly always useless.

It was normal "self loading cargo" class on a shuttle flight!!!! :-) BUT I did make a point of checking in online and selecting a window seat near the front (row 4!!!)

CA says:

"self loading cargo" Love it and perfectly descriptive. With all the flying you do you must have a gazillion miles and more than enough to upgrade on every flight. But I guess shuttles don't have class (es).

charmante says:

Fantastic capture!!! And GREAT title, too... Nearly surreal image in and of itself; plus, most the cars are red,white, black & blue, with a few greens & yellows, etc., as if other colors were exluded. How curious!

Oh, I just realized that maxivida, Hotash and others noticed the same thing. :~>
