I know images taken from the airplane window are such a cliche, but
a) I have not flown in a while, so it feels new and special again, and
b) the views were just spectacular!
I was recently flying from LA to Denver and back. Both times the sky was perfectly clear, with magnificent views of the desert, mountains, and rivers. What was fascinating is that while we were flying over mostly empty swaths of land, I could always spot the tiniest ribbon of a road snaking its way west. And at one point, I even thought I could spot the Zion Canion and the great arches, which, according to the flight path, isn’t out of the question. š
Seeing the terrain from above and how clearly it was shaped by ancient rivers made me think this would make for the most amazing (and engaging) geography lesson (a’la Magic School Bus)!
