Recently, I experienced an incredible photo-journey flying on a JetBlue airbus from San Francisco to Boston. The weather was clear and I had a window seat. I spent the majority of my time looking back and forth from my window view to the map screen on JetBlue’s seat back.
I think I was the only one on the flight to open my shade and actually spend time looking out the window. I felt so sorry for all the people glued to their devices. They missed seeing the changing terrain of each state as we passed over it. The United States is such an amazing country!
Here is my photographic journey flying from San Francisco to Boston in late May:
The scene changed remarkably after leaving California and entering the desert of Nevada.
Next up, the rolling hills of Wyoming.
I’m afraid I fell asleep over Iowa. Please don’t take it personally, people of Iowa!
We crossed over one of the Great Lakes leading into Michigan. I have never seen any of the Great Lakes. They are really huge! I couldn’t see the shore for at least five minutes as we flew over one of the lakes.
We flew over a portion of northern Pennsylvania and into New York. Unfortunately, there was cloud cover that whole time, so no photos.
Luckily, the clouds broke over Massachusetts and I got a great view of Boston as we came in to land. It felt great to be back in Massachusetts! (if you haven’t seen my series of blogs on New England, here they are.)
Well, that’s my photographic journey. On your next flight, I hope you too are inspired to spend time gazing out the window. Happy travels!
