When flying from Santiago, Chile, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (via Sao Paulo), I was fortunate enough to get a window seat. After a steep climb out of the airport, it almost seemed that we barely cleared the mountains! The view, with night closing in, was breath-taking!

This picture was cropped from the original to remove most of the bottom of the window frame. I also increased the contrast to counter some over-exposure and atmospheric haze, reduced the saturation to bring the colours back as close as possible to the original, and 'despeckled' in an attempt to eliminate the visible 'image noise'.
