This series of photographs was taken onboard a commercial airliner on the 29th December 2018, somewhere over the North of France.
The thick, greyish-white cloud cover reflected a faint glow just above the horizon line, where the sky turns from light azure to deep azure as the altitude increases, and the wing was in the shadow of the aircraft's body, which caused it to appear metallic blue, without any post-processing.
With little else to look at than mere lines and geometric fields of almost uniform colour but for very subtle light variations, the eye travels to the non-level horizon line in an almost disembodied way, inducing a sensation of floating/weightlessness which is not unlike that of being underwater. As a primarily underwater photographer, I am always fascinated how the sense of space underwater is similar to that of being in the sky.
