I’m one of those people that whenever I fly, I try to get a window seat. As long as it’s not picth black night, or flying through clouds, my nose (or camera) is glued to the window. On a couple cross-country flights, I’ve actually gotten a stiff neck and cramps from being twisted in my seat.
Now I can experience that same pleasure, pain free, thanks to an incredible screensaver. And if you can relate to what I described above, than you should definitely check out Holding Pattern; A cinematic Screen Saver. I’ve installed this screen saver and it works great. In fact, it’s only the second time that I’ve installed one on my system that isn’t one of my screen savers.
A very special thanks to Lifehacker for posting this.
I’m with you there on this one. The thing is that I’m claustrophobic so I get anxiety and hot flashes if I start feeling crammed. It’s worth it though. On a flight back to Oakland once I saw the plane’s shadow in a specter of brocken during a rain storm above the Sierras as the sun was setting. The most memorable sight was when i was flying into Ontario in winter a few years ago and it was overcast down below but flying over Mount San Gorgonio you saw all the peaks like Mt. Baldy, San Jacinto and San Gorgonio rising above the clouds with snow everywhere. Amazing in a Himalayan type of way. I have a fear of heights so I know I’d never be able to see such sights by foot. I didn’t bring my camera out and I have no idea why now that I think about it. Perhaps I’ll pay a pilot to fly me up in the future.
