Fantastic aerial shot BP!
Jack, what is the Bridge of Heaven? Show me on a map or in this picture, because that name is too cool.

Excellent! Were you in an airliner when you shot this?

Thank you, yes, I was on Southwest airline.

PS: I've used many airlines, and I think Southwest gave me the best views... imagine all the locations between Denver and Las Vegas: you see mountains to the west or I-70, South Park area, Aspen, San Juan mountains, Canyonland, Monument Valley, Capital Reef, Lake Powell, parts of Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam. Although other airlines are flying the same locations, but I think Southwest's exact route is a little to the South comparing to United and Frontier. So, next time when you go to Las Vegas, I recommend Southwest.

This is great! I'm a window hog on flights. I hate getting a seat next to someone who keeps the window closed the entire flight, drives me crazy :mad:
