Blue Greenland

Delta Flight 11 got a rare treat; today's winds took its flight path unusually far north, clipping the far southern coast of Greenland. The PA from the captain woke me from a nap to see this view out the window. In a groggy maneuver, I grabbed the ThinkTank from the overhead bin and shot a few frames out the window before the vista was obscured by clouds.

The flight attendant tells me this is an extreme rarity; he couldn't remember the last time he saw Greenland on a clear day. That, combined with the realization that images shot through three panes of plexiglass are actually pretty sharp, indeed made it a memorable crossing of the Atlantic.
