Najinsky, what a glorious view to have during your commute. I imagine, however, that the ride is not always so benign when the weather is different. This is simply a striking image, strengthened by the red-green complements. Have you got another prize-winner here?

Thanks for the comments, appreciated. Traveller, its a 15 seater Britten Norman Trislander. They are in daily use to make the 15 minute hop between Guernsey-Jersey-Alderney (the three larger Channel Islands). This is how I commute when the boat is out of commission. The view is taken from inside!! If you look carefully in the bottom right corner you will see the edge of the window frame I just kept in the crop.

However, on one occasion (I wasn't aboard that day thankfully) it was carrying a team of local rugby players who were merry on booze. There is no isle, no standing room, no facilities, seats only with 1 door per 4 seats. One player decided it was a good idea to open his door to take a pee! The pilot made an emergency landing, got the player out of the plane and punched him!

Regards,
-Najinsky

I am amazed at the DOF that you achieved with a f7.1 aperture. This is a lovely image. Congratulations. Sam Attal

A Very Unusual Shot, Naj...it's like a puzzle that I can't figure out. Which direction is the plane moving, meaning which is forward...two wheels, so a larger sort of plane....but most interesting is how did you get outside to get this perspective?

Still, lovely as all get out. Best Wishes, Traveller
