What a view!

I have been fortunate over the past 5 years to have a job the sends me around the world. One of the negatives is are the flights themselves coupled with the jet lag. Sitting and NOT sleeping on an 11 hour flight will take its toll, but I am not complaining. Sometimes you get to see some absolutely incredible views and I just had one of those flights.

As you know the shortest distance from one point to another is a straight line and on a curved surface such as our planet a flight path may take you over areas you may find desolate, but interesting. Take flying from Frankfurt, Germany to Los Angeles, you would not follow the longitude line but climb over Greenland to Canada then down.

I have flown this route over a dozen time and have only twice seen it where the skies were clear. Trust me when I say that these pictures do not do the view ANY justice, but I had to share them with you.

The views went on for miles, I tried to take some pictures of the glacial flows, but they only came out white... go figure! Speaking to the regular flight attendants, who were also gawking out the door window, they said that they have only seen this once or twice before; usually there is cloud cover.

Hope one day you will be able to see it!
