Windows at 37,000 Feet

If I could have been paid to look out airplane windows all day, I would have taken the job. With my nose pressed, I look up at the deepening blue sky towards the ionosphere, and below to clouds, weather and the earth. Any problems I have seem trivial in comparison to the expanse of our fragile planet. At the same time, I feel the possibilities are endless. This piece, titled “Windows at 37,000 Feet” is an interpretation of space (both physical and mental) inspired by the view from airplane windows.

A bergschrund is a place where a glacier is pulling away from the rock side of a mountain. The movement creates a gash between the rock and ice. Because it is moving, it is unstable and a dangerous place for mountain climbers. The story behind this piece is on the blog. This piece has sold.
