Great shots! I too have some great shots from up in the air that would make fantastic paintings but just don’t quite know how to tackle them
August 9, 2011 at 8:49 am |
Hi Marion,
Glad you like the photos. They are tricky subjects to paint. I used some in an exhibition called Wetlands a few years ago. These were all small 8″x8″ mixed media paintings.

They’re all so nice. The fourth one is my favorite. Lovely!
October 14, 2011 at 3:47 am |
Oh, I love these. I have some great shots of flying in and out of Haiti the year following the earthquake.

Wonderful. The eyes of the eagle let us see the world with a better understanding. Truly beautiful. Mahalo, Dohn

Beautiful Photographs!
I have been flying for over half a century and still feel like a kid – I request window seats and can spend a whole flight staring out the window like an idiot. I like to try to find places I’ve been – plus find interesting spots. My first action on getting somewhere is to pull up Google maps and try and figure out some landmark that I spotted.
I have never thought of bringing a good camera along… have to do that next time.
Keep up the the great work.
October 14, 2011 at 4:26 pm |
Sounds like you are hooked like me Bill. I get home and go through all the photos, matching them up with google earth. I’ll be looking for a GPS in my next camera!
Thanks for commenting

What a great idea for a post! I look out the windows of planes from a geologist’s perspective. Some of your photos would make excellent examples in an Earth science classroom.
October 15, 2011 at 10:54 am |
Yes, I had the same thought! Amazing how the planet takes on a whole different aspect when you can look at landforms from the air.
October 14, 2011 at 3:56 am |
Is that first shot of Mt. Hood and Mt Adams just outside Portland?
October 14, 2011 at 4:29 pm |
Hi Justin,
Yes, that shot was taken on a flight from Redmond to Portland.
What an awesome sight, sticking up through the mist like that.

Beautiful! And congrats on being Freshly Pressed!

The green mountains are my favorite, but they’re all lovely and interesting. I absolutely love you mixed media paintings! They remind me a little of the book “The Forgetting Room”.

October 14, 2011 at 9:26 am |
beautiful snapshots!
October 14, 2011 at 9:36 am |
Wonderful series. The 2nd and 4th are my favorites.Excellent compositions.
October 14, 2011 at 9:41 am |
Wow, these pictures were taken out of an airplane? Those tiny little windows?? Fantastic. I love the idea of this too, splashing paint across the usa is a very visual set of words to go along with the incredible pics. Nice!
October 14, 2011 at 10:01 am |
Cool shots. Being airborne is always good for getting perspective
October 14, 2011 at 10:09 am |

Thanks for commenting. The first photo is of Mt Hood near Portland, Oregon
Cheers

October 14, 2011 at 6:48 pm
oh ok. sorry it looked like Rainier to me. thanks for clarifying. This is a wonderful theme and i bet you can add a lot many to it and build upon it . All the Best !

Really great work! Keep sharing.

This paints an opposing perspective in my mind, than the one I’ve always had. These are the things you learn as an adult that you only imagined as a child.
October 14, 2011 at 1:00 pm |
Awesome pictures.
October 14, 2011 at 1:05 pm |
Sometimes it’s so easy to feel trapped in our own concrete Jungles. Thank you for reminding (some of) us how beautiful our home is.

These are just fantastic! Very talented.

You have a good eye for awesome pics! Great blog. Keep blogging.
October 14, 2011 at 2:00 pm |
Wow! Great shots. When I take pictures from the plane, they look like… well, like I took pictures from a plane. Lol.
October 14, 2011 at 3:27 pm |
Nice photos.
Problem is, you have to sit in the window seat each time.
October 14, 2011 at 3:39 pm |
Wow your paintings are amazing. Lovely.
October 14, 2011 at 6:30 pm |
Mind blowing pictures…thanks for sharing with us
October 14, 2011 at 6:38 pm |
What a cool idea! Love the (5th one from top) pic… it looks like a painting! I would proudly display that in my house!
October 14, 2011 at 6:39 pm |
Great Photos!
October 14, 2011 at 9:40 pm |
What a view…real sharp. Wonderfullly shot.
October 14, 2011 at 10:23 pm |
Impressive pictures… Do you take them from regular Boeing/Airbus or smaller planes like the one on the last picture?
October 16, 2011 at 11:43 am |
Hi wevelostcontrol,
Thanks for commenting. Some shots were taken from large commercial airplanes and some from smaller short run planes. best shots are usually just after takeoff or descending to land.
Cheers
John
October 14, 2011 at 10:24 pm |
Wow. fantastic landscapes
October 14, 2011 at 10:36 pm |
Hi John,
I loved these! I also have a few fond aerial pics. My favs were going from Europe to LAX. I loved seeing snow and ice “down there” over Greenland or Canada and seeing the Rocky mountains.
Thank you for sharing
October 14, 2011 at 10:45 pm |
Much as I also love the landscape images, my favorite is the shot of the gleaming metal wing and propeller! I have a similar image I took while coming into Toronto in a prop plane. Planes are just as gorgeous.
October 14, 2011 at 10:47 pm |
One of my favorite things to do is look out a plane window and see the marvelous landscapes below– your post is filled with stunning shots of what’s “down there.” I wouldn’t be surprised if you used them as part of a book or art display– well done capturing God and man’s wondrous creation!
October 14, 2011 at 11:24 pm |
love using photos as a basis for your art. They are fantastic. I always try for a window seat and have thousands of photos from planes, trains and automobiles.
October 14, 2011 at 11:36 pm |
Wow, so pretty. Great pictures! I forgot how beautiful our country is, minus the highways and stuff ha.
October 14, 2011 at 11:57 pm |
Gorgeous pictures!
October 14, 2011 at 11:59 pm |
sweet photos! I had a big road trip over the summer and got to see a lot of cool places from ground level…definitely want to hop in a plane now though!
October 15, 2011 at 12:58 am |
blimy! Fabulous shots. Some of the look like crop circles minus the crops:)
October 15, 2011 at 1:25 am |
Awesome photographs.
Its a very different view from up there.
October 15, 2011 at 1:29 am |
Great photos! I especially like the one with the grassy hills.
October 15, 2011 at 1:36 am |
Your paintings and photographs are all very beautiful
October 15, 2011 at 2:22 am |
Amazing, I love shots from the air and these are all seriously beautiful! I remember flying from Ethiopia to London and we were flying low over Egypt and I managed to capture some pyramids in the dessert with my crappy little point and shoot camera…it’s so cool to look at things from a different angle!
October 15, 2011 at 2:26 am |
I love having the window seat, I can observe the landscape for hours, great photos.
not for tourists:

October 15, 2011 at 4:11 am |
Wow, that looks so cool! So lucky to go up in the plane and get those amazing shots. It looks like a patchwork quilt!
Keep going, congrats for being on FP!

These are stunning! I too love to take photographs from plane windows. My favorite natural subject is ever the sky.
October 15, 2011 at 4:27 am |
The fifth photo shows stunning point bars in a meandering river – where is that from? Check out my weekly series on interesting geology from the air called “Geology on the Wing Wednesdays”… here is one of point bars, the features shown in your fifth photo:

Very nice. My family always laughs when I pull out my camera during a flight. I have shot some spectacular sunsets and one very memorable sunrise. Good work.
October 16, 2011 at 4:20 am |
Wonderful work!!
October 16, 2011 at 4:20 am |

The countryside looks like a giant work of art 
I’m also really interested in both drawing-painting and photography! Both these interests are present on my blog :

Fantastic shots, I fell in love with the fourth one, magical piece of nature
October 16, 2011 at 4:35 am |
The circles of green irrigated fields are like those you see flying into the valley where I am an artist, Bozeman, Montana. That photo of the green foothills in June near Salt Lake City is more green than I’ve ever seen in Utah! Well done.
October 16, 2011 at 4:40 am |
Great photos! And I love those paintings in the first comment above; it’s amazing how you’re able to find inspiration in the simplest things!
October 16, 2011 at 7:43 am |
Wow. There is such a different view from up there
October 16, 2011 at 9:08 am |
I love it! I’ve travelled somewhat cross country and have seen some great views, but your photos really capture the landscapes. Isn’t this nation fantastic!
October 16, 2011 at 12:18 pm |
air shots are tricky–high elevation, limited view (if you’re sitting in an airplane) but these are so stunning! i sometimes like to go on google earth to view how certain places look like from above; the contrasts of city/town and farmland is interesting, and shows more than just simple geography! looking forward to seeing more of you work.
October 16, 2011 at 12:27 pm |
[...] this week, geoblogger Michael Klaas pointed me in the direction of a lovely set of paintings of landscapes viewed from the windows of airliners as they traversed America. These pictures [...]
October 16, 2011 at 12:36 pm |
Awesome shots! I still remember flying into Las Vegas at night, the lights were so bright and everywhere! Love the mountain pics

Hi starlight,
Thanks for commenting. Not sure of the exact location for that shot, but it was a couple of hours west of New York heading towards LA.

Hi, John,
You are one talented photographer. It’s because of people like you that cause my shots to look so pitiful by comparison! Beautiful work….
Best of luck!

October 17, 2011 at 7:04 am |
beautiful! i’ve taken a few shots from planes….but they never turn out even a fraction as great as those! thanks for sharing. i fly a few times in the next few weeks so i’ll see if i can manage something worth posting.
October 17, 2011 at 7:07 am |
These are absolutely stunning! I’m an amateur photography – just getting back into and these have completely inspired me to take some pictures from the air on my next vacation!
October 17, 2011 at 8:00 am |
Stunning!!!
October 17, 2011 at 8:40 am |
Beautiful! I really like how the landscape forms its own pattern, like somebody already painted a scene.
October 17, 2011 at 10:08 am |
What a wonderful world God has given us.
October 17, 2011 at 10:34 am |
Beautiful! I have some friends who are pilots who bring back some nice shots, but those mostly look like exactly what they are – taken through a window of a moving object roughly 10 seconds after he went, ‘that’s cool I should take a photo’. These are rather majestic, congrats on being able to score such fabulous shots. Sometimes a bird-eye-view makes you appreciate the beauty you would miss from the ground!
October 17, 2011 at 10:45 am |
Your photos are incredible!
October 17, 2011 at 11:18 am |
Wow! These are just gorgeous! I always love that bird’s eye view you get when you are flying above and everything looks as small as an ant hill. It’s almost surreal looking down and seeing everything beneath you.
October 17, 2011 at 11:46 am |
ohmy, love the pictures….
October 17, 2011 at 11:59 am |
Truly beautiful photography.
October 17, 2011 at 3:40 pm |
I immediately recognized the first one with Mt Hood since I live in the northwest. Love that mountain! Great shot!

Very beautiful photos.
October 18, 2011 at 1:57 am |
Beautiful pictures. I never thought I would see such great pictures from the window of a plane. I will have to look out the window more in the future!
October 18, 2011 at 3:09 am |
Well done, i like your pictures!
Thanx!
October 18, 2011 at 4:09 am |
Great shots!!
October 18, 2011 at 7:07 am |
The 5th photo from the bottom is the one that gives me butterflies. When I look out an airplane window and see those perfect squares of various green like that I know I’m home, in Iowa.
Thanks for sharing these fabulous photographs.
October 18, 2011 at 7:53 am |
What a cool concept! And the photos are beautifully done.
October 18, 2011 at 8:00 am |
Beautiful views from above!
October 18, 2011 at 8:15 am |
Hey. Great photos.
Can you (or anyone!) tell me where the sixth photo (“air5″) is taken?? Looks awesome…
October 18, 2011 at 10:37 am |
Hi sportingblogs,
Thanks for commenting. Not sure of the exact location, but it was taken on a flight from Minneapolis to Salt Lake City, somewhere over Nebraska / Colorado.
Cheers

Breathtaking! Wonderful shots! Thank you so much for sharing these!
October 18, 2011 at 1:39 pm |
I’m obsessed. Who knew we lived in such a magnificent country? Everyone wants to visit Europe, or Asia and yet, here, here we have everything lovely as well.
October 18, 2011 at 5:22 pm |
nice serie…did you wipe the plane’s windows? no scratches at all!
October 18, 2011 at 11:48 pm |
Hi druizal,
Yes, I always clean the window and try and find the clearest region to shoot through.
Sometimes hard, but a longer focal length usually overcomes marks and scratches.
Cheers
John
October 18, 2011 at 6:46 pm |
These are so stunning! Rivals the English countryside!
October 18, 2011 at 8:43 pm |
wonderful shots… liked it!!
October 18, 2011 at 9:14 pm |
To see the world with birds’ eyes make your heart lighter.
October 18, 2011 at 11:06 pm |
I love the pics, which camera u r using?
October 18, 2011 at 11:45 pm |
Hi MANOJ,
Thanks for your comment.
I’m using a Pentax K20D with 18- 250 Pentax lens or Vivitar 28mm manual lens.
No matter what lens, sharpness is compromised by 3 layers of plastic window – which also creates flare and distortion.
Cheers
John
October 18, 2011 at 11:56 pm |
Beautiful and inspiring! It is always stunning how distance can change your perspective even of a landscape you know well and experience everyday…
October 19, 2011 at 12:32 am |
I always wonder what those circles are (5th picture) that I see when I fly across US.. nice pictures by the way
October 19, 2011 at 12:44 am |
Such lovely photos, thanks for sharing them:)
October 19, 2011 at 12:44 am |
Such lovely photos, thanks for sharing them. Definitely give you a different perspective.
October 19, 2011 at 1:18 am |
Don’t you just appreciate the world from high above? Makes things much more serene and that you can conquer anything upon landing.
October 19, 2011 at 2:17 am |
I hope someday I could do the same thing.
October 19, 2011 at 8:44 am |
Absolutely gorgeous photos. Loving the mountain shots. Breathtaking!
October 19, 2011 at 9:02 am |

October 20, 2011 at 12:49 am |
Those are awesome! Thanks for posting. I love the idea of taking pictures from that high up…but haven’t taken enough airplane rides next to a window to make it work!

Amazing landscapes.

Nice shots and well edited. Airplane windows kill contrast. It’s tricky to bring everything back in Photoshop without making the pics look fake. You did a great job on this set.
If you’re into aerial photos come on over to my blog. I’m an airline pilot and i take my camera to work. Click on the “flying the line” link

I wish I had your same collection of photos and travel experiences! I’m just beginning my journey to all the hidden gems across the U.S. but have learned the world is at times both big and small. With so much going on in cities all across the world–how do you choose where to explore next?

Love your photos! Shot from that altitude they become open to new interpretation. Your focus becomes that of colour, shape, geometry etc. Great series – well done on being Freshly Pressed.

Very great shots! I’m impressed you were able to get those kind of shots. How did you do it? From the tiny airplane windows, or was there occasion for better angles? And how was the trip?

Hi Fox,
Thanks for commenting.
These shots are all from the airplane window. Landing and taking off are the best times to take photos – particularly if the plane banks and you happen to be on the down hill side.
My ideal flight would be right across the country at about 30 degrees, or even better a hot air balloon! Always love flying.
Cheers
John

Is that serpent mound? Even, if it isn’t, the thing is mystical.
October 24, 2011 at 9:12 am |
Hi Billy,
Thanks for commenting
No, not serpent mound, but unusual formation just the same.
Cheers

The more I see your photos-the more I admire.
Remove the dirt of modern advancement—and the basic
natural beauty is the same—may it be U.S.,Africa or India.
October 23, 2011 at 11:05 am |
Got sucked into the blogosphere after creating my own. Came across your blog and really appreciated the photos, art, and simplicity. Nice job!

You show the colors, shapes & lines of the earth as the beautiful design elements they are, we don’t get to see it in this form.Thanks for sharing these amazing photos. They remind me of a book “Earth as Art”.
