Double Exposure The Sky vs. The Midwest

I played around with some double exposures on the 5D Mark iii between my flights from Dallas to Kansas City on my way to Geekfest. The second set of photos are from the drive from Columbia to Minneapolis. I don't usually stop much because I do the drive alone in the winter but I wasn't in a big hurry so I was able to really enjoy it. The best part was finding an Amish grocery store with free soft serve ice cream. Now I know where my regular stop will be!
