The territory covered on the flight from Las Vegas to Seattle can be quite spectacular, and my recent trip along this route coincided with the arrival of a storm front that allowed me to capture some of my favorite images ever from the air.  We had passed Death Valley and still hadn’t reached full altitude when we came across this scene.  I probably would have been thrilled to be on the ground for this one, especially if I were close to one of the snow-capped ridges in the distant range.  Stepping back and seeing the whole picture can be good once in a while, and in this case, seeing below the clouds and the top of the approaching front made for a unique perspective I was glad I was able to photograph.
