Alain de Botton was in Australia recently promoting his new book News. I didn't get to see him sadly, and I haven't read News yet. I do still think of his
Art of Travel each time I fly and look out of the window.
I had a window seat on my recent flight from Sydney to the Gold Coast.

Love the photos. The photo of Bondi brings back memories of my City2Surf run last year. I also love how blue the Pacific looks. The Atlantic often looks murky compared to the Pacific.

Beautiful clear photos!
Terrific photos. So cool that you got to walk at that National Park. I never think to take photos from the plane, but I love yours so I'm going to try to remember next time.

Thanks for sharing your lovely photos. The ocean views are outstanding. Australia is on my list of must-see places.
Beautiful photos. You got off some wonderful shots of the sky and land. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful scenes. I'm always jealous of the hawks that can circle and circle, riding the thermals on a gorgeous day while we are stuck in airplanes! A hot air balloon might be the closest I'll get to flying.
I'm one of those weird people that prefer the aisle seats, esp for long trips. But going up the coast of Australia is always delightful.
I did the sunset flight from Mudgee to Sydney once in a little, little plane (only 6-8 seater from memory - the inflight service was an esky tucked under the front seat!)
The view of the sun setting on the cliffs of the Blue Mountains was stunning.
We do live in a beautiful country :-)
Gorgeous. My pictures from planes never look that clear.
I love to fly. Lucky you...what a view!
Some beautiful shots, especially the coastal shots. Flights from London are usually straight up through the clouds.
