After my recent trip to Houston, I was treated to a clear day of flying back across the great American West. To survey these wide open spaces, flying at 35,000 feet gives a good overview. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

It was raining in Houston when we left, so I snagged this wallpaper-like shot of the sky and the drops on the window.

Much of the saturation drops out over distance, so it is a bit of a trick to adjust colours and shadows. I had some frustration trying to replicate what I saw, so eventually I just decided to fiddle until I had a pleasing image. I guess that is the same thing astrophotographers do!

At this distance it is difficult to appreciate the size of landforms, but the road gives some scale.
