These pictures come from a wonderful woman in Ohio, a teacher, Cynthia, traveling home with her husband. My flight left Zurich around noon and going West...you fight jet lag by staying awake and busy.
I glanced up...from my very complex writing to do list...and yelped...(that's the best description I can think of....for the sound I made)....my seatmate and Cynthia who was sitting in front of me turned to look at me....probably to ascertain if I was choking on a proverbial airline peanut or something on that order.
"Wow...Look at that....I think it's......Greenland!"
My seatmate closed her eyes without even a peek....a few other passengers (unimpressed that the yelp was a consequence of a geological land form ...turned away)....but Cynthia was energized......she grabbed her camera and began shooting.
Like kids....we wowed and ohhhed....as glaciers and icebergs and alpine lakes and finally clouds rolled over the landscape.
This was my first glimpse out the window in a while...and instead the Atlantic Ocean.....there was land...and mountains and lakes!!!
It's this amazing??? A gigantic glacier (including some weird kinds of tracks on it) breaking into an inlet complete with chunks of ice floating in the water.
A blue blue mountain lake somewhere at the tip of Greenland.
A different glacier flowing into the sea with another inlet clogged by ice.
Okay I do exist, I know I'm never in pictures ...that's because I'm taking them....but Cynthia couldn't resist taking a pic of an amazed woman.....hovering 7 miles above Greenland.
