I always try to get a window seat and take photos on flights. So why not a thread to post interesting shots? Just don’t drop your phone between the seats, the FAs hate that.
My first, sunset and the moon setting on my way home from FL this week.
The Apple Headquarters “Spaceship” Sunnyvale, CA
La Jolla, CA (arrow pointing to where I used to live)
I’ll take Manhattan…
Don’t have any to add this time, and probably won’t look for any though I have some.
Just want to say, great pics folks. 
This was on a flight from Texas to California. Unfortunately I did not note the exact location, but I’m guessing that that bright spot of light in the distance is a solar power tower, perhaps the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility. It was VERY bright.
Mount Saint Helens.
Incidentally, this is Ivanpah from Rt 15
Flying over fly-over country in the winter:
My entry in the last contest:
Some kind of refractive effect. I thought it might be a Brocken spectre, but I don’t see a shadow in the center so I’m not sure.
It is a glory, a related phenomenon to the broken spectre. You can’t see a shadow because you are too far from the clouds so the shadow is diffuse.
Here’s a glory with the shadow visible:
My photo is of Mount Taranaki in New Zealand.
I normally take an aisle seat because I like to be able to get up to go pee whenever I need to, but sometimes on short flights I will take a window seat. Or in the case of this Embraer 145, I got one of those single seats.
So here’s I view of Crater Lake from an ERJ-145.
Soda Lake & Temblor Range, CA (have to click to get full image…for some reason google photo image links don’t display full photos)
I remember being wowed seeing that view slide by my window. I was listening to the live version of Astronomy Domine at the time, which enhanced the experience a bit.
My profile has a pic of sunrise from altitude. Somewhere over Georgia southbound as I recall. See Summary - LSLGuy and click the [Expand] button at upper right.
I’ve got (unsurprisingly) hundreds of pics of clouds, oceans, sunrises, sets, etc. I don’t have an easy way to share them (yet). No promises.
Go Bucks!
Mine from the August photo competition (I wuz robbed!).

Apparently that circle around it is real, not some photographic illusion.
In 1881, a circular area with a radius of six miles (9.6 km) from the summit was protected as a forest reserve. Areas encompassing the older volcanic remnants of Pouakai and Kaitake were later added to the reserve and in 1900 all this land was designated as Egmont National Park, the second national park in New Zealand. There are parts of the national park where old-growth forests are found.[44] With intensively-farmed dairy pasture right up to the park boundary, the change in vegetation is sharply delineated as a circular shape in satellite images.[45]
A little blurry, but the best I could do under the circumstances:
