It's been ages since I did a purely visual post on here but I couldn't resist sharing these glorious cloud photos that I took on the flight back from Amsterdam on Saturday.
It was grey and pouring with rain when we left Schiphol Airport but we climbed through the dark clouds to reveal this magical sunlit panorama. It's odd to think that - unless you climbed to the top of a mountain - humans have only been able to see this sort of thing for a little over a hundred years.

I couldn't help wondering what Turner would have made of this? Don't you think he would have been just crazy about this view - I bet he'd have had his watercolours out on the plane, whatever the flight attendants said!

In a delightful coincidence, LaVonne Ellis had a lovely guest post on Ittybiz today about how we need to remember the magic of flying in relation to our online endeavours.
