I took these photos with my iPhone as we flew into Washington D.C.
last Thursday evening. The flight from New Hampshire was smooth
and the cloud formations just stunning.
The Pentagon and Potomac River
Northern Virginia
Coming home from a trip, especially when flying is involved, is always
full of nostalgia for me.
Each time I land I give thanks for the safe passage, then, if necessary,
as on that evening, I head to the next flight gate, or the lounge if time permits,
and settle in for the layover. That evening our flight from Washington to
Raleigh was delayed 2 hours - crew problems - so a comfy lounge wait as
dusk turned to night was manageable. Eventually, the last thanks for safe travel
were given as familiar territory appeared below the wing, the landing was good,
the bags appeared quickly, and the taxi took us home.
There's no place like home, is there?

You are so right...nothing like home. Glad that you had a pleasant journey.
ReplyDeleteThose cloud photos are amazing Mary! Glad you made it home safely.
ReplyDeleteDear Mary - welcome back home.
ReplyDeleteI never give a moments thought to safety whilst I am up in the air, but then always offer up a silent thanks once we have landed back safely on terra firma, and especially so when it is back home.
You took some wonderful images from the plane with your iPhone.
There is indeed no place like home! Like you, I always give thanks for a safe passage (and ask for a smooth and calm flight beforehand).
ReplyDeleteThose cloud formations are fantastic!
You got some amazing shots! There's definitely no place like home. I'm not particularly happy about the country I live in, but always happy to return to my things and my bed.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree - there's no place like home. The cloud formations are gorgeous. We visited Washington 3 years ago. Somehow it doesn't seem that long.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs. I have been away, and have missed you adventures and photographs. I hope all is going well with you. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteStraight away let me say that the first photograph of the clouds is absolutely stunning and well worthy of publication in a Travel or Lifestyle magazine, what an amazing sight.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know that you arrived home safely, there really is no place like it is there?
What fantastic cloud formations and clever photos from the plane, Mary. I enjoyed your pictures of Washington too, especially the Pentagon. We hear about it so often, but rarely see it. I am getting back into blogging after something of an absence while travelling. Glad you have been off adventuring too. xx
ReplyDeleteDid you step out on the wing or the fuselage to get those wonderful photos?
ReplyDeleteIt is always so wonderful to go places, but then so wonderful to have a place to return to. Those clouds and sights from the plane are just spectacular.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is good to get home ..... there's nothing better than your own bed is there Mary ? !!!
ReplyDeleteAs always, your photographs are beautiful ..... those clouds are amazing ! XXXX
