Cheers Tony.......you must be at a pretty good height in your "fly me to the moon" pic??

Steve, Steve, Steve!

WOW! Now, that, that is inspiring. Particularly the left hand side.

I've just purchased a Mamiya medium format system and hope to be presenting images like that (not so much in panoramic) soon.

Brilliant!

I had a look at the exif and I think it was a third of the way back from Canberra... I imagine the plane was at cruising altitude, whatever that is. I have not travelled much by the big metal bird... To Perth and back in 2004 for the Venus Transit and this one, before that I flew in a Fokker Friendship once in 1977 (?) to Charleville.

Judging from your aircraft shots you are experienced, perhaps you could tell me how high I was. Apparently I was in on of the Brazilian aircraft from Virgin.

Great shot Steve.
