Thanks everybody for your kind words. Luiz, I was playing with various crops, and this was the most ghm.. powerful, I guess. At least so I thought at the time of playing with it. There are a few reasons for that: "8" is naturally inscribed in a elongated (non-square) rectangle. Another point is that I wanted to keep the bottom "spiraling out" part, while having the center of the "8" in the middle. That's why I didn't remove the buildings at the top.
It was taken from a large commercial jet (MD-80 or Boeing 737) on the approach for landing at DFW airport. Whenever I am flying I usually try to get a window seat in the front of the economy class, so that the view down is not obstructed by the wings. Also, for some cities I have a favorite side. E.g. flying to/from San Diego, - I take the left side (great view of downtown at the extent of your hand distance for normal landing, and nice overview of the bay and the down town on take off if flying East). Flying to JFK - left side, flying from JFK - right side. Flying to Chicago (ORD), - coming from West Coast, - right side - depending on the landing route (which varies), - sometimes you get nice views of the downtown, (albeit from a distance, but still a nice view). I don't remember for sure about flying to Boston, - I think I had better views on the left side. Flying from Boston, - right side - nice view of downtown. Does anybody else has any similar preferences/hints for other cities anywhere around the world? (I'll be flying to Turin, Italy with a connection in Paris, CDG in about a week - any recommendations?)
