Great topic,
Hartmann !
Why I love flying:
It's hard to tell
, but that's Mt. McKinley (Denali) underneath the wingtip. And that, in an image, is why I like flying - it provides you a grand and unique view of the world on which we all live.

Heh - another form of natural beauty. Perhaps I'll have to focus my camera inside the plane instead of outside next time.
Of course, on most US flights, it takes some time to find that "beauty"...

Great shots! The glacier, the mountain peeking out of the horizon, and the ice below, all great examples of what makes flying great.
Yes, yes, origami from FAs is welcome and appreciated just as much
