Actually, I walked back to take the pic because it had the best view- or did I?

The whole world seems to be at your fingertips.



Taken on approach to LHR. What a way to arrive!

Jassy-50 and aaac, those are awesome!

Nice to know others share my preference for an unobstructed window seat. Often light conditions, weather or flight patterns prevent the ideal picture, but occasionally we get lucky.

Or the camera is in the overhead and the seatbelt sign is on

Thank you for the kind compliment!

It usually is for me, too. Or it's the middle of the night!

Are there any other seats bar window seats?

*looks over at those in the middle rows* ... oh... those seats....

I must admit, if I'm flying, a window seat for me is a must normally... as is the camera in my lap.

Face it ... looking down the barrel of a single isle at the back of an A320 doesn't make for that many interesting pictures....

Hey, can anyone help me figure out how to add a link to my photo on a flickr page? I can see the page, but I cannot figure out how to post the image within this thread.

Thanks!

Hi ajax,

Here you go:

1. open your photo in flickr and then click "all sizes" (from selections just above the photo image)
2. on page that comes up, select the size image you want, scroll down to below the image and:
- hilight the URL of selection #2 ("grab photo's URL")
- right click on hilighted URL, then click Copy
3. go to your FT message and
- click on the "Insert Image" icon (the yellow square with the mountains and sun(?))
- paste copied URL into Explorer User prompt that comes up on the screen and then click OK

Voila! (hopefully )
No, it's not intuitive; it took me quite a while (and some helpful advice) to figure this out.

I'm looking forward to seeing your photo!

Edited to describe more correct/better instructions, after the temporary senility faded away.
