Wasn't I surprised to spy the spires of Monument Valley from 31,000 feet? We'd passed over Lake Powell several minutes earlier, and as I gazed across the desert I thought it would be cool to see those iconic landforms. I saw them at ground level eight years ago.

Sure enough, they were soon visible to the south-southwest. In the linked image, check the purple towers that rise from the ground below the wingtip.
I recently StumbledUpon a page about refining [hazy] aerial photos, so I'll likely repost better images.
