The fields and streets of a "road warrior"

I spend more time than I would like up in the air traveling for business. It's sometimes the only chance I get to actually see some scenery. This last trip I took I decided to capture scenes through my airplane window. I always hesitate with this because the windows are usually scratched and dirty but it's surprising what you can pull out of the images in post-processing.

Anyways, here is an excerpt from a new gallery I'm building. You can check out the rest at http://hbphoto.smugmug.com/gallery/1145107

Time to rise and shine and head out to the wild blue yonder....

    Neat stuff. The red picture looks like something out of science fiction.
    Lord, keep my words sweet. Someday, I may have to eat them.

    #5 gets my vote clap.gif. The detail, the perspective created by the angle of the shot, very nice. I see it enlarged, framed & hanging.

    Thanks everyone for the comments! Here's a 100% crop of the Denver shot. I'm amazed again at what you can see through those crummy windows.
