For as much traveling as I’ve done in my life, I still get nervous every time I fly. Take-off used to freak me out, but after the bumpy winter ride back from the Keys, landing scares me more, watching day turn to night through small sheets of rain. Before boarding, I looked around at the other passengers, and their calm calmed me. People napping, listening to iPods, reading magazines. There is comfort in the ordinary. I know it’s ridiculous, but it’s what worked to get me through the ride – that, and taking pictures. I never tire of looking at cloud photos, and I don’t tire of taking them.

Comment by Lisa February 18, 2012 @ 10:03 AMDo you know Ephem’s blog? You must check it out if you don’t.
Many of his photos have a wonderful spiritual energy, like many of yours.

Your top cloud photo is absolutely superb. I want to dive into it!
Comment by Photobooth Journal February 17, 2012 @ 9:06 PMI just took a peek at Ehpem’s blog and love it already what I see – thank you for sharing it! The black and white photos are gorgeous and may fill the travel bug void when I’m not on the road.

Hi Katherine – thanks for the plug! I noticed the resulting visits
And hi Lisa, I really like your photos and will be back for more. The kids foot brings back all kinds of memories of travelling with my daughter when she was very small. And I really like the bottom cloud and plane picture.

Comment by Becky February 17, 2012 @ 8:58 AMthanks, becky! she was a cute kid, and inspiring too – if she could kick back and relax 35,000 feet in the air, i figured i could too.
Comment by Lisa February 17, 2012 @ 12:33 PMThe silouetted plane is fabulous and the cloud photos are ethereal. And those running shoes are perfect for running across the cloudscapes! thanks, great. Michael
Comment by Michael Williamson February 17, 2012 @ 8:10 AMthank you – i took that last photo while sitting on a bench in the key west cemetery (of all places). the planes fly so low over the island, i happened to look up and catch one.
Comment by Lisa February 17, 2012 @ 12:35 PMAh, Clouds. I love the feeling of home that it evokes. Well done, Lisa. Great Images!
