I have flown all over the world and often, when it is not cloudy or dark, I take shots from the plane. The Earth is fascinating from 35,000 feet ( and less). Even Google Earth doesn’t capture the reality of the real photograph. ArcticTropic has hundreds of such pictures on file. We welcome submissions from readers as well. Below – some assorted shots from the last few years:

Amazon River – November 2005.

Near Santiago,Cuba.

Northern Venezuela Coast.

El Popo – Mexico.

San Diego.

Lake Powell, Arizona/Nevada.

Near Monterrey NL, Mexico.
