This month’s image is called Burst of Yellow. It was shot in a 16 x 9 aspect ratio. I’ve also included what I think was the best image from last year, which also happened to be the first image posted. It’s called Stormy Weather. All of the images in the View From The Cockpit section of the blog are available as high resolution images. They make great desktop backgrounds.
From the title of this article you might get the impression that this is a story about some in flight disaster, but that’s not what’s on my mind. Lately I’ve been thinking about life and death stories that occur every day some 30,000 plus feet below me as I make my way across the land and sea.
Here is my list of the best nonfiction books, films, and documentaries for 2008. To make my list, each book or film had to receive at least a four star rating. The release date has no bearing on my choices. This list simply represents the best of what I personally saw or read this past year.
I’ll be coming out with the best of everythingnonfiction for 2008 in January. Here’s your chance to vote on the best image from the view from the cockpit section of the blog. Click on the Flickr badge below to view all seven images posted this year (I didn’t start this section until June).
