This photo shows a river meandering away into the horizon and a setting sun. It was taken at 38,000 feet over Iran when I was flying from Sri Lanka back to England in the Summer of 2005. I had to add resaturate the image and hope I have gotten the colours back. Let me know what you think!

Along the walk I spotted a couple sneaking a moment of intimacy in the Buzzard's Nest (Ninho da Manta). I can't really think of a more spectacular place to kiss someone... The sun was still low in the sky and so etching contrast into the blanket of clouds that reached to the edge of the sky above us.

Three exposure HDR hand blended in order to keep the couple from being ghosted.
