In just one? I can't do that lol. As an amateur photographer, I tend to take lots of pictures. Unfortunately, on a plane I am subjected to use my horrible quality iTouch.

These pictures are taken from an A380 as we were flying to (or from) Melbourne, Australia





Somewhere over Australia



And this one is between Boston and LAX, going into the sunset

My brother told me this one looked like a movie set with the backdrop being a matte painting. I'm taking that as a compliment!

I'm currently training as a pilot and I managed to catch this picture with my Panasonic Lumix T710 as I prepared the aircraft for an early morning flight.

Haha thanks. I have a friend who is a dab hand with photoshop. Not much changed - just a bit of touching up that's all.

Here are a few more I took yesterday. Probably the best day for flying yet over here. They're all just south of Melbourne, Florida, USA. I have loads more inc. pics on my blog.

















Makes getting up at 5am all worth it!

Eskimo Ascending

To get this shot I stepped out the back door of our 737 combi while parked at Yakutat, Alaska. I like the way the clouds reflect off the face in the tail.
