I am always inspired by nature, especially mountains and the stories their rugged landscapes tell. I was careful to create as little gap between the lens and the window as possible, as this reduces refractions in the glass. This image was create somewhere over the French Alps while I was en route from London to Venice. It was at this part of the journey that I was captivated by the beautiful soft pastel tones that the atmosphere from 40,000 was filtering through. The end result is nothing less than gorgeous.
