It just captivates you sometimes doesn't it?   You hit external view and pan around and just stop at the perfect angle and go "oh my". 🙂

I can almost feel the atmosphere in the shot.  Hard to explain but you know what I'm talking about. 😉

Funny you should mention that.  I emailed that image to a handful of relatives. My email described the image simply as:
"Late afternoon flight, descending over the Chesapeake Bay near the end of a flight from Indianapolis.  MSFS 2020"

Here are two responses I found in my email this morning:
"I’m confused? Were you flying? How did you get pic?"  (from a sister)

"What kind of a plane were you in when you took the picture!  DID YOU USE YOUR I PHONE?" (from a cousin)

Here is a previous year's Chesapeake Bay capture.....  When we get that quality in clouds we'll be much happier....  FSX SE clouds courtesy of REX Sky Force 3D

The image is not retouched at all.  Just resized from 2K to fit within size limits here.  Same for the FSX SE shot with the Milviz Baron.
