Ecuador volcanos

While I do a lot of flying, I virtually never take a photo from a plane - bad windows, too distant objects, difficulty composing, etc. However, on my third trip out of Quito in 10 days, I got lucky with one a great window and composition that I knew was coming. I tried to get the shutter speed as high as possible to minimize movement due to vibration.

The further volcano is Cotopaxi which, I believe, is the point further from the center of the Earth. (Since the Earth bulges at the equator, it's actually higher than Mt. Everest.) In the foreground is Antisana, I believe. Looking up at mountains when you're flying at 20,000 feet is not particularly reassuring! (Now if I could just get a flight at about 7 am or 6 pm. )

1Ds, 100-400 at 200, 1/1600 at f8.0 Adjusted cyan and blue channels down and cropped some uninteresting sky at the top.
