horizons straight

Wings not

The clouds look more like ice on the ocean, than clouds in a sky.

wings not makes the shot!

minor crop to get the horizon straight anyway, and crop it down to 2:3 (shot on a S90 with is 4:3). I was bloody lucky to get my connecting flight, seems that most of the ones after mine were canned due to the weather, so saying those clouds were like ice in the sea is something a lot of people would agree with!
