Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning

Its off to Duke again - SQ 22 from Singapore to Newark then Continental from Newark to RDU and Brad from RDU to Duke. Here we are departing Changi - an A380 before us

THere is a new cable stay bridge under us. We used to fly to the right and I could capture the progress. Now it seems the flight path follows the river and I am not able to photograph the bridge

Approaching Newark - the sun was on my right and I was sitting on the left side of the aircraft - seat 14a. We were passing clouds so there was a shadow. The interference between incident and refracted light from water droplets in the clouds makes a nice sort of diffraction pattern centered at my window as seen here

It was 10:45 before we departed Newark so I played with night photos
