thank you, Rudiger Nehmzow

I don't know how many times I've pulled over while driving to try to capture the sky on film, inspired by dramatic clouds, lighting or colors. But it's safe to say that even my best snapshots cannot even compare to these stunning photographs by photojournalist Rüdiger Nehmzow, who took them while up in an airplane with the doors open, donning an oxygen mask.  

Photos found via Honestly ... WTF.

Almost too gorgeous for words. Almost.

I can't get over the colors. 

I can feel my stress level instantly drop just looking that them. 

I wish I could thank him personally for this gift.

Ok, enough words. Sweet dreams. :)
