the saturday photo hunts



I am fond of airplanes because they make long distances short, enabling me to jump over the ocean to be with family and friends. I always ask for an aisle seat to be able to get up whenever I feel like it, otherwise on long trips my legs go numb from the lack of movement. This is a shot from my archives, early morning in Madrid, Spain after a 13.5-hour flight from Santiago, Chile.

  5. Great photo... and yes, I can see the aisle seat attraction but I still favor window seats for the views they offer up. Re making long distances feel shorter: yes, the airplanes do and yet... sometimes the world still doesn't feel small enough, you know? ;(

  6. I do exactly the same ! I prefer the aisle seats to stretch my legs from time to time and also be able to get up when I want. Most of the people prefer window seats, not my case anymore !

  7. My legs go numb if I fly too log. Those first steps are always a challenge - even harder since i'm generally racing to make a connection!

    Have a super weekend!
