Skywatch Friday - Way up high


Thirty-four thousand feet over Pennsylvania every space looks perfectly planned. Asymmetrical patches of green and gold, S-shaped rows or concentric circles, roads leading to the horizon, countless ponds and lakes. There are towns with perfect orange baseball diamonds, golf course sandtraps that look like tiny footprints. Swimming pools are aqua dots (I never knew there were so many!) Shiny roofs and sparkling car hoods twinkle in the sun. One town looks as if a giant cement mixer dumped its contents from the sky to smother the green with gray. Now, as I float along, I see a plane and a cloud - below me.

That's a wonderful view. It amazes me, too, that the landscape looks organized and neat from the sky.

My hometown Bergen doesn't look like this at all from the sky. It is not planned so very good. I think the town has grown from the center and out and from the outside and in to the center at the same time. Well from the sky it looks like a big explosion and that the pieces (houses) has been left all over the valley:)
But I love it anyway!
You have a very great picture in the post this week.
