Clouds, Water, Deserts, the view from above is always enlightening and is well worth a closer look. Not everything can be conserved in a picture, but photography can at least to some extent capture moments that speak of the vastness and beauty of our planet... The presented images were taken between 1989 and the present - some of them from the passenger seat, some at low altitude in small planes, later then during short haul flights throughout Europe. The vast majority of them, however, was taken from the flight deck of a Boeing 777 long range aircraft... Some of the pictures presented here are originally analogue, while most and especially all recent images were taken using a digital camera. This offers a number of advantages for this kind of photography in particular: The majority of the pictures where taken at high altitude and improved for a contrast and color in order to give a more realistic impression, close to that of the human eye.
