Good idea to take this picture from an airplane, Ninfa!
That was to be impressive to see the Mount Popocatépetl from the top.
Well for a photo catch through port-hole. Thanks for sharing.

Ninfa, good to see you again. What a great capture, views like this make me feel so small and insignificant, they also make me wish I was a bird.

Me alegra volver a verte por aqui querida amiga y con una imagen tan impactante como esta.
Una excelente captura, aunque debería criticar el encuadre un tanto centrado.
La belleza y colorido de ese coloso realmente es impresionante... a pesar de sus antecedentes inquietantes.
Bien hecho.

Hola Ninfa,

Bienvenida de nuevo, es un gusto saber de vos. Buen aprovechamiento del tiempo, tomando una buena foto desde el avion, se ve impresionante, gracias por compartir,

Saludes,

Iris

I suppose that you took the shot from an airplane. I can see some "dirty things" (from the windows?) at the photo.

Anyway, very nice view of this impressive volcano. Very nice colors Ninfa!

An opertunity well taken Ninfa, the roughness of the landscape surounding is very well seen, thank you for sharing
