Well the color of the mountain here isn't perfect, but I was shooting with a point and shoot out an airplane window. And I like the photoshop adjustment. I think this is Cotopaxi...it looks like the same shape as other pictures of Cotopaxi, even though that's a bit east of Quito and we were flying to Guayaquil...It may also be Chimborazo, which is more South of Quito...I really don't know. There's a good chance it's neither, but I'm fairly certain it isn't Illiniza Sur, since there's only the one definite peak, and it's a clean cone... I'm calling it Cotopaxi till I'm corrected.

It was a short flight but this was still the most exciting thing to happen on the way to Guayaquil (better than solid blue in every direction for 5 hours, but still...). So I took pictures.

Like I said...it was a boring flight. After this it was clouds and sky the whole way in.
