I've been meaning to share this somewhere, and I thought you lot might appreciate it. Flying over Greenland on my way from London to New York.

I got chatting to a flight attendant when we were back over the ocean, and she told me she'd never seen Greenland before in fifteen years of flying the route. She'd been up in the cockpit and apparently even the pilots had their cameras out.

I'm not much of a traveler or a photographer, but views like this are why I always ask for a window seat.

The streaks aren't a dirty window, they are the sun.

Flying almost directly over downtown Atlanta a few moments after taking off from ATL and looping around to fly to BNA.

Mountain and flying, always a great combination:
