This is a tow plane. I am in a two-man glider, being pulled behind it. This is the exact moment we started to leave the ground. This was shot through the thick canopy of the glider, hence the cool looking distortion.
After a few minutes in flight, another glider joins us.

These images come from a story I did about a 50 year old soaring club in Texas. I had never been in a glider before, and I do not like flying at all. But this really turned out to be one of the better stories I have covered. I had a great time.
March 2003 over the Mojave desert. Sorry for the re-post but after thinking I was the first to start a "from above" thread, I noticed this one WAY back in the W/NW archives and deleted mine/posted them here.

A nice day at work - I got to drive a lot on this particular day and even managed to get a few decent shots out my window. Mount Whitney, March 2003.
