As we must appear to the hawk #3

The second stage of my flight from Tasmania to Sydney last September. I had to take two flights, the first from Launceston- Melbourne. And this one from Melbourne to Sydney.

    I'm always amazed at how nice your photos from the plane look. Especially that last one of the coastline. Mine always get window and wing in them!

    Really beautiful photos.
    Are you sure though [the second photo] that in that particular leg of the journey the pilot didn't somehow fly directly over the moon?
    Such diverse landscape!

    These are brilliant photos from the plane, Louise - mine tend to be blurry or focus on the smears of the window instead of what's outside!

    What awesome photos! I've only flown a few times in my life, but I love looking out the windows.

    Excellent photos from the air. I especially like the first one of the landscape, the second one of textures and the last of the coastline.

    Those photos are just lovely. I really like the first one, it's as if you can see for hundreds of miles.

    This is perhaps the ONLY flight I will evertake over the Australian landscape ... thanks for the armchair tour!

    I love the textures! Great shots...and when, in flight, I gaze down at the "birds eye" view of things, I can almost forget my fear of flying! lol

    Thanks for sharing.

    Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT

    Good photos from an airplane window -- that's unheard of. You must have a good camera. Thanks for sharing the topography of Australia. Here's Mine

    Those are gorgeous! It really makes me wish I had the guts to brave the frowny looks and chastisement from the flight attendants in order to get some air photos. :)

    I've never seen (and likely never will see) Australia from the air, so am fascinated by these.

    Such gorgeous photos...I love the one looking down the New South Wales Coast and the Sidney coast-line Kurnell. It's amazing that these photos are from a plane!

    This is probably as close as I'm going to get to Australia. The top shot looks like the American midwest that I am so familiar with.

    They are all beautiful, but I love textures of Australia and the last one the most!
