I work as a Sales Engineer for a cybersecurity company. I have to travel quite a bit (almost all in the US). I started traveling at the beginning of 2015 and decided right away to take photos from the planes using my phone. I've kept the tradition going and continue to take new photos.
This album has three rules. 1. All photos must be taken from a plane. 2. All photos must be taken with my phone. 3. Editing can only be done in Adobe Lightroom for Android. All photos were taken with Samsung Galaxy Note 4, 5 and 8.
Many of these photos are low quality due to distance from the ground, using a phone and lighting conditions, but that is the point... Do the best you can with the phone from the plane.
These photos are not in chronological order, but instead are grouped by region of North America.
I grew up in Chicagoland but live near Phoenix.

South Mountain contained entirely in Phoenix city limits. Seen here after a rainy month turned things a bit greener than normal.
