The Quiet Earth
This is the last glimpse of Australia I had as I flew home to New Zealand. I think this is one of those archetypal Planet shots. A beautiful, quiet Earth a few hours before that devastating Tsunami of 2005

Nice one! Usually you see pictures from planes a lot lower to the ground, good to see one up a little higher! Awesome shot.

So far above the clouds. you can almost see the “globe” part of the earth

Hi Melody, any chance of buying this one? Doesn’t look like it’s for sale :(

Great photo! I like that it’s on an angle too… with lots of bits of cotton floating around!
Melody
Hi Leia,
Leia, I have one printed on the most gorgeous paper, its metalic kinda, which really sets off the wing. Its around A4 or maybe bigger, are you at all interested in that? If you are I can measure it and get back to you with the specifics….and the other thing I should do is find the friggen original file.
Im humbled by your interest. Thank you Leia :)

I would love to buy a few greeting cards for friends that travel, it would look awesome on a card to give to people. Is that possible?

Gorgeous colours and contrasts, Melody.
Isn’t it funny how you’re ALWAYS seated so you get the wing in the shot? I flew 16 times in the last 3 months, and every single time, the wing has been right in the middle of everything!
Not that I mind at all in this photo though, frames it nicely : )
Oh, and thanks for the comments and favourites! Funny you should mention the photo of the little boy with the balloon being magazine worthy – I actually have it in a book from Luxembourg and a russian photomag! (I’m not from Russia – long story ;D)

Paul V’s shot makes me want to NOT fly, and this makes me yearn for shots from the sky….decisions decisions!!! Gorgeous blues here, and framed beautifully!
