Somewhere over the U.S.

By the time I took this shot, I had already whiled away nearly five hours zooming through the air in a US Airways A321, but a stiff headwind meant I still had one more to go before landing in Seattle. I was definitely over the Rockies somewhere, so I'm going to claim Mountain time on this photo. While just about every airplane window shot looks the same to me, there was something about the blues in the sky, and the wingtip angled upward, that prompted me to haul my camera out for this shot.
