    I spend an inordinate amount of time in airplanes and one way I try to keep sane while flying is to document the view out the window. I put it all up on my tumblr, http://theviewfromthewindowseat.tumblr.com/. Lots of blue, with some crimson, peach and generous smatterings of white too. This is an example from a recent flight over the north pole, catching the "belt of venus" at sunrise.

    Blue buildings, blue sky

    What's that second one of Nora? I can't tell if it's the side of the building or a tiled floor or something else.

    One for the accidental images file; the tui took off just as I shot. Tui, blue skies and flame tree, Russell Bay of Islands, 2006.

    Bumble-bee blue.

    One of the big bumbles. They don't like being stalked with a camera very much.

    A couple in there with the full moon - one of dawn over Taranaki, and one at dusk over the Sierra Nevada in California - just like yours from Westhaven :)

    They are a great bunch of photos… they do kind of bring on the feeling of the lonely droning of flying though. Especially like the scratchy window shots, and the propeller shot too.

    Here’s dusk on the ground in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
    And Greenland from the sky some years ago.
    And one more thing to photograph when bored on a flight….

    Thanks Nora.

    I love the masts at Westhaven. It's my favourite spot to take photos at the moment.

    Cheap Canon EF-50mm f1.8 lens and extension tubes with handheld flash - surprisingly good for macros.

    Still got this one stuck up on the wall since 2007, it's a bit faded now. I love how when you see them do stuff like this you realise how lightweight birds are - that's a very thin twig of bottlebrush its clinging too.

    Blue thread doesn’t deserve to die – but here’s a challenge, where are the blue skies today?

    Don’t think we’ve had any like this traditional one, blue sky incidental but multiple blue ridges off into the distance.
    Northeast from the Gisborne backcountry on Sunday. Arowhana the bold peak at left, twin peaks of Hikurangi 50 km away at right, each separately peek over a nearer ridge, each halo’d by cloud.

    Thanks chris - turns out after another 5 mm of rain this afternoon I could meet the challenge here, after your musical interlude - bitsa blue sky above with cabbage tree/ti kouka

    and lotsa blue sky low in the northwest with Norfolk pine.
