Aerial Midwest Winter

I love to fly if I get a window seat and the view is good. I feel a little sheepish taking photos out of the plane window, but...I LOVE it. I fancy myself an aerial photographer for a few minutes, snapping when the composition is right, as the landscape moves below me.

It is fascinating to see the patterns of urban, suburban, and rural settlements from the sky and think about how they exemplify national patterns of growth.
