This is a major holiday and extremely busy flying weekend in the USA,

and the 'Frustration of Flying' is well known to most Americans who

travel and even well known worldwide. Your ratings and critiques are

invited and most welcome. If you rate harshly, critically or wish to make

an observation, please submit a helpful and constructive comment;

please share your photographic knowledge to help improve my

photography. Thanks! Enjoy! John

My normal flight is from 19 to 35 hours. Pity me!

 

This was on a puddle jump route of two and a half hours.

 

Child's play by my standards.

 

The woman, left, sat back to avoid being in the photo (but learned she wasn't of course).

 

I do like wide angle lenses.

 

Thanks for the comment.

Maybe you don't appreciate so much.

 

This is Thanksgiving weekend, one of the most heavily traveled times of the year, with three thousand airplanes off the ground at any one time when this was posted and as many headaches,almost,as there are passengers, as meals have practically been abolished and airlines are considering how best to charge for use of toilets (yes, they're trying to figure out a way to charge - perhaps a different charge for No. 1 and higher charge for No. 2, -- two terms which every American will recognize.

 

Already All Nippon Airlines, in a squeeze to become profitable,has agents standing at boarding areas telling passengers to urinate to eliminate the extra weight of the urine on their airplanes (This is NO JOKE).

 

Everything that once was free, now has become an add-on charge, as 'fares are fixed' in a bad economy, but everything that once was free now has a cost.

 

Pretty soon there'll be a charge for farting (maybe there should be!!!)

 

Traveling is stressful, and this was posted in the US on one of the highest and most traveled days of the year by air, so what it lacks in 'punch' for a European it may make up for in ';punch' for an American and, something you cannot know -- timeliness.

 

I am glad you are apparently an admirer of my rather subtle 'four lights' photo . .. . after all it really is not apparent to most who view it (this one is, even if it (as you say) lacks ';punch'.

 

Best to you, my able friend.
