Another in my World from Above series. Mountainous landscape shot not from the ground but from a commercial plane flying over Spain at about 11,000m/36,000 ft above sea level. This is a wonderful example of a table top mountain or mesa. I was fascinated by how this massive flat mountain, clearly covered in arable fields, raises up so steeply from the rough and rugged area round about. Witness to the millions of years of development.
Nikon D200. Sigma 18-200mm. Tonal correction, etc. in PS.
Location: Somewhere over northern Spain en route from Munich to Tenerife.

This is amazing Kasia! Love these photos of yours like this! Very unique!
Vicki, thank you! I’m not always lucky but that was a great flight with clean windows, right angle of light and several fascinating scenes. So there’s more to come:-)

Amazing, it almost looks like an old mining project, maybe marble or albastor of ancient times. Awesome capture
Thank you, Ann! I couldn’t quite believe it when we flew over. I snapped away and then asked a friend who knows a lot about geology and the like. You’re right it does have a kind of alabastor quality. I saw a few “mesas” when I flew over the States over Texas and New Mexico but nothing quite as clear as this. rgds Kasia

You take such great and clear aerial shots. Mine are never this sharp.
Bruce, thank you for the lovely compliment. I had the great fortune to fly a lot a couple of years back and took my Nikon D70 and then D200 plus Sigma 18-200mm everywhere in my handbag. If I was lucky with the weather, window, light, etc. I tried to capture interesting shots. It does take a little practice not to shake the cam and to get the right angles and a lot of luck re what is actually down below. Best Kasia
