"Where the sun always shines"
Except if it's night of course...the best bit about taking off from Aberdeen is that you know
the sun is just above the perpetual clouds!
|

"Such a beautiful horizon..."
Coming into land from the north east at the amusingly monikered Barcelona Prat
International Airport, we are treated to an excellent view of the
entire city.

"A bright day in Brighton"
Is this Brighton? No. Since originally posting this picture, I have figured out that it is in fact
Eastbourne, not so far along the coast.

"Model mountains"
A natural barrier to the French cloud, the sugar icing covered Pyrenees
west of Andorra are a sight to behold.

"There's no place like home"
On a flight to the west coast of the United States, we flew for a good while over
endless fields like these, with the occasional town in between. I estimate this
is Kansas, and all the roads form the grid borders of the fields.

"Desolation"
When flying over Nevada I was hoping to see some alien space ships, secret military
bases or nuclear test sites, but no such luck. There ain't much there.

|
"Canyonland"
On a flight from Los Angeles to Frankfurt, I happened to be sitting on the right side of
the plane to see the Grand Canyon from thirty thousand feet. Unfortunately due to haze
and grimy window conditions, the best shot I could get was of the periphery, but it is
quite good nonetheless.

"Sim City 2000"
Coming in to land in Phoenix, Arizona, it struck me that "Sim City" must have been designed
around this town, a great grid of housing with a couple of little mountains here and there,
abruptly giving way to desert at the edge.

"Gatport Airwick"
I saw this quite by chance on a flight from Nice to Luton, Gatwick Airport
south of London. Just after this photo was taken I watched a plane landing far below.
|
|
"Southampton"
This is Southampton on the south English coast, an important port where the Titanic
sailed from in 1912.
|
|
"Norwegian Lakes"
Coming in to land at Torp, south of Oslo in Norway during the autumn, not that
you'd be able tell from the Scandinavian evergreens that cover much of the country.

|
"Ocean sunset"
Taken from a flight down the California coastline this is the last remnants of the sun
setting into the Pacific Ocean.
