Lake Cherokee from Above Photo

Photographer’s Note

Lake Cherokee lies just south of KGGG East Texas Regional Airport. This airport is home to LeTourneau University's flight program, so hundreds of flights pass over Cherokee everyday. After I had finished my morning flight, I rode as passenger on a friend's flight, which is how I captured this. The lake is man-made, as is every lake in Texas besides Caddo Lake.

Hello,

Good idea to take this beautiful picture from a flight. I like the result, a nice graphical picture.
Have a good day,

Thierry

le choix du noir et blanc est une excellente idée
ce cadrage en diagonale vers le bas une vraie réussite!

Waoh really great shot. The water waves are reallys giving the picture a dimension. A classic diagonal.

Incredible shot! From the thumbnail I couldn't tell what this was. It zooms through the shot from corner to corner. Great work!
Cheers!
