Description
I know of people that get nervous when their plane suddenly plunges into a cloud, but for me, such times bring me immense joy. There's something incredbly beautiful about a billowing cumulus, the shapes that they create and how their variable opacity can play with light. It's also just a plain blast to duck into puffy white and gray and then shoot out the other side. But more than anything else, it reinforces they reinforce that I am flying, a time that I'm usually at my happiest.
This particular aircraft is in a turn with a rather sizable cloud formation off its left side. I thought it created a rather dramatic backdrop for the airplane, but it also made me somewhat envious of the occupants aboard. As I put my camera away, I had the strongest urge to go straight to my own local airport and take a plane up for spin. If nature elected to provide an invitation to such a wonderful playground in which to play, who was I to decline.
