In The Clouds

This photo was taken from a plane as I was landing in Maracaibo. I was there for 3 weeks and this is the only photo I took (sad uh?), but I was so busy I didn't even have enough time to do everything I wanted to get done.

Sad? Tragic! Of all those "in-flight" shots I EVER tried to take - they NEVER turn out!! This is not only gorgeous - the left balance of the composition makes if seem as though the sky is moving!!! WOW --- perfect!!!!

Probably just about the coolest shot I've seen taken from the window of a passenger plane.

Increíble... no parece que hubiera una ventana entre tu cámara y esas nubes. Lástima lo de las fotos, pero espero que todo haya salido bien, ya será en otra oportunidad y nos vemos pronto aquí o allá

Tim, tragic indeed! I have a couple more shots of a one-day trip I took to a different city while I was there, but that's it. I'm glad I got this one tho, and thanks a lot for your comments, always great to have you visiting around here.

Pank, Eso es lo que mas me gusta, para ser ventana de avion no se distorsiono mucho la imagen. Y si, siempre habran mas oportunidades de fotos :) nos vemos pronto!

uk, que paso? jeje.

Alfon :) parece tomada del techo de tu edificio?

AntonioMou, con ese color, como la ibas a pelar? :)

Erika, que tienes planeado!? jeje... vente!! aqui tas invitada como te dije.

Thanks Serge!

Mafe, si :( que chimbo que no pude ver a ninguno, en verdad este viaje sabia que iba a estar ocupado todos los dias, pero pensaba que si me iba a dar tiempo jeje, pero la proxima vez seguro que si! Gracias por pasar.

Tor, that's what Lili said when she saw it! it does look like the opening. And yes I was quite busy, but at least I got this one and a couple shots I got on a quick trip to La Puerta that I'll upload later.

Mike, me too! glad I kept trying :) thanks man.

Albi, en verdad que si! y que chevere tu abrazo de ese color :) un abrazote igual!

teshima, It looked too awesome not to get a picture! I'm glad it turned out the way it did. Thanks for always keeping an eye on my pics! I appreciate it :D hope everything is going well.

Ale, para que veas hasta donde voy para traerles fotos! :)

Jeremy, thanks, glad you like it, and It almost did kill me!

Pa, asi es, que bueno tener la oportunidad de capturarlas.

Bea, jaja bueno, me haces sentir mejor :)
