Boarding the plane headed back to Mississippi from California, I was already dreading what I thought would be a boring, four and a half hour flight. Fortunately, we took off at noon, and from my seat behind the wing, I had a clear view of the changing landscape below. I decided to shoot the sights below from Sacramento headed east.

Sacramento, California

I had a few of obstacles to overcome:
1) I was using a point-and-shoot camera
2) We were 37,000 feet in the air
3) I was shooting through a scratched plastic window in front of outside glass
4) We were going 600 mph
5) The heat wash from the engine under the wing caused some blur
Below are a few of the results, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome, which made my unplanned, overnight stay at an airport hotel in Atlanta a bit more bearable.
