The 19:30 flight from Mendoza...

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

The 19:30 flight from Mendoza to Santiago provides for some interesting colours as you pass Aconcagua. The South face is in the shade but you can't have it all. The flights from Santiago to Mendoza fly too far south to get close enough to shoot. December15, 2003. William Marler. Nikon Cool Pics 5000.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks Dave. Normally I don’t try as the window of the plane and or the wing messes up the shot. But this seemed to go well at the time and the results surprised me. I have several more of the west ridge. Which I will post later. But I don't want to overdo it. Cheers William

Good drive by shot

Voted 10/10

Tupungato on the horizon (you are looking south by southwest)?

Fantastic Shot!

Voted 10/10

Wow, I can't believe that you took it through plane window which are usually scratched or dirty. This one was crystal clear and result is fantastic aerial shot! I hope you had great trip (haha like it can be the other way) and welcome back!
