From the Window Seat, vol. 1

One of my favorite things about flying is sitting in the window seat. Watching the sky and ground below will literally keep me entertained for 4+ hours (as long as I'm not super tired, which happens too often--why is sitting in an airplane so exhausting?!). I'm studying atmospheric sciences right now, and I have a giant love for our planet (I studied hydrology during my undergrad), so I'm a huge nerd when it comes to all things Earth science related. For this post, I wanted to share some of my favorite photos I snapped from the window seat during my most recent trip. (None of the photos have been edited.)
