Up, up, and away…

Views from the airplane

Yesterday, I returned to Buffalo from Norfolk, Virginia, yesterday. It was a pretty good trip, although I spent more time in airports than in airplanes. The view from the airplane, at times, was spectacular, and here are some of the pictures that I took with my phone. I am usually quite astonished by the quality of photographs that I can take with this phone. When I first got a cell phone, I had this clunky thing with an antenna that looked like a slightly updated walkie talkie. It was actually possible to text with that thing, but it was an incredibly annoying experience because you used a telephone keypad and you would have to press the same key repeatedly to get a single letter. My friend Anita laughed so hard at my attempts at texting because my responses were very, very, very s…l…o… w…

And now, the phone does everything from waking you up in the morning to serving as an encyclopedia and a cookbook and acting as a camera. And sometimes, you actually make phone calls. Well, anyway, the phone camera is pretty good but a regular camera is still a good device to own, so, for sure, I’m not ditching my camera any time soon.

On the plane, I had a good time pointing the phone out the window and taking pictures of what I saw beneath.

Looking downward on the world offers an entirely different perspective. You’re getting a bigger view of everything and it makes you wonder how things work together, as opposed to individuals working in isolation.
Here is a view of the world at a great distance. Everything looks really tiny when you’re this far from the ground. It is a fascinating look at the world.

water, water everywhere…
It would help if everything were labeled, lol. (If you’re wondering why it looks like the wing moved, it’s because this picture was taken during my trip to Virginia!)
