flying over the long island expressway


please click on photo if you'd like to see blurry details



my husband & I just got home from a wedding in milwaukee. it's always fun to go traveling, but it's really good to be home, even if it is still raining. as the plane looped around manhattan I looked down at the western most tip of long island & I thought how lucky I am to live here. how was your weekend?

I love to take photos from airplanes Lily. This is a good one!

Landings in JFK are always a little nerve wracking, aren't they? It seesm to take so long to land!

That is a beautiful photo!

And as close as I ever want to be to the LIE - though it doesn't look too bad from there.

awesome view!
Doesn't look like it was taken through a window at all.

The weekend was good but tiring. Like everyone, I'm tired of the clouds and rain. Not so good for picture taking!

I guess the only time that flying and the LIE will be used in the same sentence is when you're flying OVER it! LOL!

Great picture!

Pat, we were actually flying into Laguardia, we were looping around Manhattan due to some heavy air traffic.
I love a birds eye view so unless there is some turbulence I'm too busy looking out the window to get nervous...thankfully!

Thanks Babzy!

& thank you too Bobbie. I know, the LIE looks harmless from this view, right?

Thanks Kitty. I was worried because the windows on the airplane needed a good cleaning!

Thanks Morty, & yes, that is exactly where we were headed.

Daryl, isn't it the truth? I hope this rain doesn't last the entire summer. I'll have to get one of those lights one uses for seasonal affective disorder!

Thanks Betty
; )

Luv, that's a good one!

Hi Pietro & thank you!
