I always wondered what it would be like to be flying all day looking at this kind of thing. Awe-inspiring probably, but also desolate, beautiful, contemplative, a bit cosmic, and perhaps unnerving. It would seem to absorb a lot of creative energy to look at views like these more than a few minutes at a time. The visual fabric of ordinary life is predictable, but nothing in this is so structured. It adheres to a mysterious pattern involving huge amounts of gravity, heat, mass, light, and space and has a look entirely of its own.

Great shots Jungle. It's always nice to get a peek of what it looks like above 3,000 feet every now and again.
Dude that was deep.

Hey Jungle,
Got me wondering now. Do you ever divert a little just to get a better shot or are you just blessed with such dumb luck that these shots appear out of nowhere?

P.S. 3rd one's a new wallpaper now.
