Spare a thought to the infinite space around us and the rarity of our existence. There is no known extraterrestrial life, intelligent or otherwise; we are but a speck of dust in this ever-expanding cosmos. Never will this thought hit you harder than when you’re flying thousands of feet above sea-level. Perspective changes everything; it humbles you like nothing else can.
These photos were taken while flying over Pakistan, Iran, UAE, Birmingham, and other places I can’t even remember. Enjoy!

Love those cotton candy clouds. Your post reminds me that it’s wonderful what you can see from so high up.

These are really beautiful pictures. The world is so beautiful.
Photos can’t do justice to their true beauty. 🙂
Such beautiful photos- makes me wish even more so that I could afford to travel at this point in my life, but helps me dream of when I will again be able to!
I hear you, my friend. I’m kind of in the same boat; can’t wait for the tides to turn so that I can travel again. 🙂
Stunning captures from the flight, especially the mountains and clouds! 🙂
Thank you so much, Amy.
Love these! Being stuck on a plane is so terribly boring but these views are spectacular and one plus side to it!
