A view from the air...

So I'm sat on a plane returning from an incredibly sad goodbye with my beautiful girlfriend. I have however found a way of distracting myself. I've been taking pictures out of the window of the plane.

 

I forgot the joys of travelling through clear daytime skies in an aeroplane. The views are truly stunning and it is a great game to play 'guess what part of the world your flying over now'. So, without further ramblings, here are some pictures from a plane.

Madrid airport...

Shortly after take off...
 

 

Some views of Spain as we climbed...

 

 

I was fascinated by the natural plateau in that last one.

As we climbed into the clouds (not that there were many)...

 

Looking from a plane at the plains in Spain...

 

As we got to cruising altitude...

 

Heading into the Bay of Biscay (I think)...

 

Over France...

 

A large amount of cloud hiding the the English Channel and England...

 

A strange 'lake' in the mass of cloud...

 

 

Never ending cloud...

The descent (and subsequent pressure changes) plays havoc with my bottle (no wonder my ears are popping!)...

A break in the cloud as we descend towards Stansted, am I going to be lucky with a clear landing? I'm literally writing this live in the air so I have no idea!

A peak of England through the cloud...

England basking in Sunday evening sunshine...

 

We have banked round in preparation of landing. Photo fun over..

Stansted airport in the evening...

Home now so I can publish this blog!
