While browsing online I came across work by Julieanne Kost, a photographer who is a regular flier. She has captured these amazing images from the window seat of a plane whilst travelling.
I never think to take a decent camera with me on holiday as I always worry about it getting broken even though I am insured, let alone think to take any photos on the plane. I am impressed with the quality of these images as normally plane windows are dingy and dirty and I expected the photos to have the same feel about them. I do look out of the window when I fly but I have never had scenes like these either. I end up just viewing clouds or bits sea. I think she has been lucky here or maybe I have just been looking but not really 'seeing' what is there.

All of her photos appear like abstract paintings. I like the unique concept but I do not think it is really something that I would hang up in my house. Maybe I would feel differently if I had a personal connection to the images and had flown to any of the places shown.
