I was paying my albums a visit over the long President’s Day weekend and found some cloudscape images that I took on that 5-hour plane ride from Charleston to SFO last summer. I was particularly surprised to find a rainbow (3rd image), that I didn’t notice the first time around.

I want to be up there: so joyous and such a contrast with the gloomy ground.
Amazing angle.
I bet you didn’t want to land

It would be easy to get lost in the cottony clouds and miss the rainbow.
Wonderful that your camera captured it for you.
Lovely shots!

Well, I’m one of those people who love flying. Commercial or small. My dad had his pilot license, so had the opportunity to go up in small planes at an early age.
Those shots are wonderful…

Very nice Ewok! Isn’t it fun to find something you didn’t know was there when you look at your downloads? I am happy to know someone else besides me takes pictures from the plane window.

Thank you for dropping by my blog. We do the same thing, take photos of clouds while inside the plane. I’ll share mine soon too. Your photos make me hungry because they remind me of cotton candies and popcorn, hehe!

Hi Photo Cache, yes those are beautiful clouds. I also never get tired of sitting on plane windows, in fact i have collections of a lot of them. I just need to sit down and compile all those clouds. Thanks for visiting my site too.
