Eight Hours at LAX (1 Viewer)

I thought this was a awesome photographic rendition of eight hours
on one of the runways at LAX.

"This is how photographer Michael Kelley describes what it’s like to watch airplanes take off for eight straight hours at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

On Sunday, after waking up to a particularly sunny and smog-free day, Kelley brought his camera to a park near the airport and captured a photo of almost every plane that took off over the course of the day. He then went home and stitched the images together to create one stunning photograph.

The image is a compilation of 75 different pictures. Since more than 1,500 flights take off from LAX on any given day, Kelley pointed out that he only focused on one runway and this picture isn’t meant to capture every single flight – or even every plane he took a picture of during takeoff. "

I can definitely relate to loooooong waits on a runway or sitting in some satellite terminal with only one bathroom and a vending machine.
With the Malaysia flight disaster one forgets all the millions of planes that taxi, takeoff, fly and land with not the slightest issue.

Interesting! ---Larry
