On our flight to Los Angeles a few months ago, my boyfriend surrendered his window seat to me and I managed to take a good amount of photos of the breathtaking landscape of the American West. The desert landscape is surprisingly diverse, with its mountains, canyons, plateaus, rivers, and sporadic oases. It’s a flight I never get tired of making.
The below photos I managed to capture with my Digital Rebel and ƒ1.8 50mm lens. The blue gradient towards the top is a result of the window tinting of the plane. The only post-processing involved was some contrast and color correction to add more red and yellow.
Also, I didn’t realize it until recently, but someone made a bloglovin feed for my blog, and for those of you who use it, add me~

I can’t pinpoint what it is, but something about these photos is incredibly beautiful. Definitely not what I expected.
I really love the blue tint at the top!

These pictures are so beautiful! My brother and I were reminded of FFXIII (Pulse) when looking at them. Breathtaking!

Absolutely stunning images! Some of those mountains look more like graphic print work than an existing landscape… Isn’t nature just astounding?
