View from Dreamliner’s Tinted Window

Yesterday, I made this view from the window on an American Airlines’ Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The window was given an artificial bluish hue after takeoff. This served to reduce the light in the cabin-area of the plane while flying between Dublin and Philadelphia.

The mechanism for achieving this effect is beyond my knowledge-base, but it contributed to an interesting photograph.

I made this image over the North Atlantic using my Lumix LX7.
