While flying back to LA, we happened to pass within sight of an outbound flight. I'd been staring at this cloud formation for some time, but it was only with the other airliner's passage that I truly understood how goddamn HUGE it was. I was working from the assumption that it was maybe a couple blocks wide; it turns out you could probably fit most of Manhattan in that thing, without even including that vast stratus sitting behind it. People: clouds are not small things.
I did the lines immediately; I did the colors recently.
The ground should actually be much bluer than that, from 30 thousand feet. But any more than that and in a still image it would probably just look like we were flying over water with weird grid lines.

Sweet composition!
Thanks for the add on. I'm doing the same with your awesome blog. Wow! That's a great depiction of the smoke clouds from the recent LA fire. About Dr. Sketchy's, the next one (last Sunday of Sept.) will be in North Hollywood. Hope to see you there!
