“To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves a riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold—brothers who know now they are truly brothers.”
— Archibald MacLeish, American Poet
It never ceases to amaze me to watch the earth pass below as I sit comfortably in an airplane gazing at the landscape before me.
“The Earth was small, light blue, and so touchingly alone, our home that must be defended like a holy relic.
— Aleksei Leonov, Russian Cosmonaut

Are these all your photos, Kae? It would be great to know where (and when) each of these shots was taken. Thanks!

Hi Gary, yes, these are my photos . . . aways get a window seat as the passing scene seems like a movie to me. Added the approximate locations, taken in the last couple years. I should bring a map with me. My many trips down to Norfolk produce the pictures along the Chesapeake Bay. Thanks for asking! K

Hi Vincent, thanks for stopping by and your comments! Yes, from airplanes at different elevations, and also I use a zoom lens, which brings the landscape closer. I just wish the airlines would wash their windows. Well, I guess they have other things to think about. K
