Blue skies. Nothing but blue skies?

To satisfy one reader who made a request a few days ago, I've been trying to show views of The Bahamas, but not just standard postcard style views. If you have never flown over the ocean to one of the islands in the region then you will never have seen the stunning colours of the sea. You've probably seen the clear blue skies over head.

The shorelines of our islands are all different, but they often look like the edges of what many people think of as paradise.

Then, as you move closer to the large land mass that is the USA, things change gradually, as you approach the Florida Keys and the city of Miami. Much more land, but also much more development.

Reality kicks in with a vengence as you get even closer to Miami. Land looks less attractive and buildings start to cover most of the horizon. As the plane descends all of the change becomes much clearer. One can hardly see any blue skies, and the blue sea seems far away, even though it is in fact quite close.

Time to change mindset.
