A Painted Sky

Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye

There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door


- Be, Jonathan Livingston Seagull soundtrack, Neil Diamond

I know I already wrapped up our Mexico trip but technically these photos weren't taken in Mexico but on our flight home. As usual I had a window seat and my camera handy. Often there's not a lot to see but this time I was lucky and there were interesting clouds and views and a colorful sunset. I took almost 500 photographs over about an hour and a half.

At first it was "just" cloudscapes.

There were a few views of the ground. I bet there are some crocodiles in this lake/swamp/lagoon.

Comparing to Google maps satellite view, this it the North-east corner of the Yucatan. With the sunset starting.

Once the color started, there was lots to photograph.

These ones look a bit like the ocean to me.

Finally, the light started to go.

AI thinks this is part of New Orleans.

New Orleans ?

I hope that wasn't too much of an overdose of sunset clouds.

See all the photos in this batch
