Whenever possible, I sit by the window seat on flights. Sometimes dirty windows or wings mean photographs are impossible, but much of the time a whole new world is right there waiting to be seen!
Spring fields somewhere over South Dakota
And more fields seen through the opening in the clouds
Clouds! Blue skies!!
A glorious formation of late afternoon clouds
Turning back to the west to land at O’Hare brought the Chicago skyline into view just as the sun was setting through low clouds
Still Learning To See 
Amen, brother! I’m right there with you about the window seats. So many joyful hours spent watching the scenery unfold below.
No more “please pull down the shade” for us!! Hope all is well with you.
I loved seeing these beautiful photographs, John. Thank you.
I always sit by the window too – don’t always get good shots, but the view is always interesting.
