Window seats all the way made it bearable.
This was the sunset somewhere over Europe.
All the dramatic changes of light and clouds in these photos happened within just 18 minutes.
This play of light around the wing was especially exciting!
And at the beginning of the sunset the flight attendant was ordering us to close the shades. What was he thinking?? Obviously he knew nothing about SkyWatch Friday!
These are beautiful photos.
ReplyDeletelove and light

Fantastic photos!Wonderful!Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteDinayou beat me I sat here at 7:00 waiting. Nice shots only seen sunset once from a plane
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty. I love the light around the wing - so colorful!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I really enjoy airplane sky photos because you see the sky in a totally different perspective.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Dina! Having to fly to London was sort of a round-about way of getting from point A to point B, but that's the way the planes fly!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh about the flight attendant's comment: he definitely was not a photographer!
40 hours would give you a lot of time to see beautiful clouds below. nice shots.
ReplyDeleteWhat breathtaking colors and perspective! Yes, what was that steward thinking??? Thanks for sharing. Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies taken from the other side of the clouds...
ReplyDeleteGreat shots from your windowseat! Beautiful light, the second is quite special!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color, cool shots :o)
ReplyDeleteWow, Dina! These Skywatch photos are phenomenal. I love the textures in the sky - really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! 40 hours is definitely more time than I could stand flying anywhere.
ReplyDeleteSimply extraordinary! God is amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Great perspective.
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't EVERYONE plastered to the window for this great show?
ReplyDeleteI love the window . . .it's a good place to muse . . . One time I followed the dusk from San Francisco all the way to Honolulu!
Funny, tomorrow I'm posting a sky shot taken by a pilot friend in flight! Aloha, Dear Dina
Such a great view! Why did the flight attendant want the shades closed, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteWell done...
HSWF:)
Not a journey I envy until I see the beautiful sky and colours it produces at that height
ReplyDeleteDina: It sounds like you have a dream job-- archeological field worker. What is the most interesting thing you have unearthed? We have an interesting Indian Mound about an hour and a half south of here (Town Creek Indian Mound in Montgomery Co. NC USA). At that site, they have found interesting items.
ReplyDeleteStop back by Greensboro Daily Photo when you find the time. So many people look and so few comment, it made my day for you to post a comment! Thanks again

We were just talking about the pulling down the shades the other night. When I returned from India several years ago, I had read that to prevent jet lag, eat and sleep according to the time zone you are flying to. That sounds like a good idea--if it wern't for the flight attendants.
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning. I can't believe there isn't a quicker way to get to Aus.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! But wow at the trip — that's such a roundabout route!
ReplyDeleteOh...these are really fantastic,and really dreamy!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I cant belive that some sences are in this world!
By the way Dina, this is my new blog's link www.arch-diaries.blogspot.com
but it is still in Farsi,You can just see my photo in this :)
These are great inflight shots, Dina, so we did get to share some of your sky watch, thank you!
ReplyDeletethis is about as close to the sun!
ReplyDeleteDina, we did he same and took photos of the rising sun. It's great isn't it!?
ReplyDeleteDina, I forgot to say that I don't know the name of the author of the poem. I like the poem and found it with the help of Google.
ReplyDeletenice captures of the sky...like the colors in the last.
ReplyDeletei don't think i could endure such a long long flight...i am already dreading 8 hours coming up this sunday.
have a wonderful day
erin
wow what a tremendous site in flight
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Forty hours of flight I could not do!
ReplyDeleteYou 're right Dina. Your pilot didn't make part of the more than 300 participants to Sky Watch each week. He should, witj so much beauty all around.
ReplyDeleteThanks for souvenirs you brought us back from your fly and travel.
Fantastic photos! So Beautiful and exciting! Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteWonderful views. How beautiful are the skies from the plane!
ReplyDeleteDina, I miss your very fine comments!!!
Dina - You got some really beautiful shots from the airplane here - nice job! Perfect for SkyWatch!
