An Eye in the Sky

Wonderful Writing!
Such an enjoyable read, so well written. I really like your desciptions of onboard plane life...I can identify with everything so readily!

Another window blind rebel
I really love your description of life on a long flight. I can completely relate to your need to open the blind, too. It drives me completely crazy when there is a wonderful starry sky or, even worse, a gorgeous sunrise or bright daylight over scenery or clouds and I have to sit in a claustrophobic, stuffy cave in dim light. The false "nights" they use to subdue the "inmates" are far too long, boring and a waste of the time I could be enjoying the experience of flying over our wonderful world. If I don't have a window seat, I go to the back of the plane, where there is usually a window over the emergency chute, and sneak a peak for as long as I can get away with it. The other thing I hate is when people have been lucky enough to get a window seat and then spend the whole flight with the blind down, even when they are allowed to have it up! Then no-one else can look out. Very selfish, I reckon. You have taken some great shots of exactly the kind of things I love to look out for. They were a joy to look at. Thanks for sharing them.

One of the best-written blogs I've read on TB. How you managed to get so much wordage out of a plane flight leaves me in awe!
