Sky Watch #51
Our time in New York had come to an end. While packing, we rang the front desk clerk of the hotel to fetch us a taxi to take us to JFK. Thirty minutes later, a limo showed up. For 5 bucks more we said okay to a limo to the airport, wouldn't you?
Reverse skywatching. Beautiful New York we say adieu and until we meet again.
Five hours here can be boring despite various entertainments available, including photographing the inside of Virgin America. What a cool plane, I should fly with this service again.
Hello California! Glad to be back to the 50 degrees temperature. This was in April. We left NY with its low 90s and arrived in SF in mid 50s, sweeeeeet!
According to the flight map, we were already in the California air space, so I gather this is the wonderful Sierra Nevada range.
That's my skywach entry for this week. With this also, I end my NY Minutes post. Although, I will have at least two posts about the wedding in NY, the real reason behind the trip.
Amazing shot of the mountains!!! WOW! I love shots from airplanes.
ReplyDeleteI would have said yes to the $5 more, as well... how cool! Sounds like a wonderful trip!
Hope your weekend is grande!
Fantastic picture of the Sierra Nevada! I really enjoy it!

Nice shots!!
ReplyDeleteThat last shot is very cool! Beautiful pics from the plane.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun. Wow on those mountains. Limo looks comfortable. Anything to not have to drive to JFK (my sister-in-laws live nearby, so we are too often getting stuck in traffic near there).
ReplyDeleteThe view on the mountains is so impressive and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat series of images for skywatch... reverse or not ...
ReplyDeleteI would also preferred the limo instead of a smelly cab !
Nice w.e.
Erwin.
What a nice and great photos to wrap up the series. Love this last shot of Ca.
ReplyDeleteYou clearly took advantage of your NY trip, Maria! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteWow, the shot of the Sierras is magnificent. Such detail in it with the light and dark areas.
ReplyDeleteVirgin Atlantic looks like a nice airline to fly with.
Such a great post... what fun it was to visit!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely... I'd take the Limo for $5 more!

ps. the mountains are gorgeous!
oops... my son was still signed in with his skywatch spot... the above comment was from Maria @ Calm Energy :o)
ReplyDeleteThe inside of the plane is certainly colorful. Those cool blues and purples might help me sleep. Or be good mood lighting for techno music.
ReplyDeleteAt that price, yup a limo would work for most of us.
ReplyDeleteAren't the rockies the most amazing thing to travel over and photograph.
Thanks for adding to the fun of sky watch friday.
Love the photo of the mountains. A nice Skywatch, and pleasantly different.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots especially of the snow covered mountains. I must confess I like the limo shot best.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been up in a plane in many years. It might just be time. :)
