Gray skies, green countryside

Sometimes the gray brings out the beauty of the land below.  Just flying a lonely patrol over Dover in my Hurricane.

Lovely. What weather engine are you using?

That's Wings of Prey, it's a WW II Sim but I bought it just so I could enjoy free flight and flying over the beautiful countryside.  I don't fly it often, but when I want a few moments' flying in a peaceful place, I almost always fly over green old England. :smile:

That's about as real as it gets John.  I bet it's hard to duplicate those shots over Arizona :lol:   Nice work.

It gets better.  With Wings of Prey, if you've ever flown in real life into clouds before, you know how the wisps of cloud build and build until you're in the soup.  Wings of Prey has that experience spot on.  I wish it had been a civilian simulator, although I understand how people might want to consider WW II.  It was truly a battle against good and evil, from my POV.  That's not to say our Alliance was perfect--no one is.  But it kept a great tragedy from marching across this planet, and I am thankful for those who sacrificed themselves to save us from that tragedy.

 

Regards,

Any photographer will tell you the best pictures occur during overcast conditions.  No harsh shadows, color that is accurate and vibrant.  And no squinting if you are taking portraits.

 

I love the mood of these images.

Great series of shots indeed.  But the last is my fave, I'm  a great fan of out the window shots for maximum realism.  Tally Ho lad!!
