Reasons Why the Window Seat Is Always Better

You might see Chicago’s skyline reflected in Lake Michigan

This incredible image was taken from the window seat on a flight by passenger, Mark Hersch as the airplane was approaching Chicago O’ Hare International Airport.


You could see a rainstorm like this off in the distance

Because a solar eclipse at 44,000 ft is pretty cool

And seeing the highest point in Africa will take your breath away

For the sunrises

And the sunsets

And the waterfalls you’ll never see from the aisle

You could witness a forest fire

And finally understand why everyone thinks Norway is so beautiful

You could ride an endless sea of clouds

Come up with creative ways to frame a shot

And appreciate the expanse of a mountain range

Maybe you’ll see your first frozen lake

Or a city enveloped in fog

Cities at night can be mesmerizing too
