May Theme Day - Shadows


Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

This photo was taken from a plane as we were about to descend into the clouds. I was tracking the shadow as it appeared on the clouds but it seemed destined to remain too small right up until we entered the clouds. With a lot of crud on the window it is not the cleanest photo, but the sun's reflection makes it a little more interesting

  5. I envy you this one! I always ask for a window seat to take photos, but haven't been as lucky.

  6. The sun's reflection looks like the plane is traveling at warp speed and creating a sound wave

  14. So did you make it OK if the plane only had one engine?
