When I’m lucky enough to sit by a window in an airplane, and the view is great, I have to snap the moment. When you see the view from the top, it makes you think about how the place would look when on the ground.
I managed to take a photo of the sunset in Istanbul, it was so beautiful. I don’t get to see them very often.
I find the airport experience quite stressful, with all the security checks and delays. By the time you get to the aircraft it kind of compensates for all the rushing, just for the beautiful cloudy views.
Looking carefully at my photographies I can see incredible skylines, with the clouds eranching the blue behind.
Another thing that interests me, are all the different airlines around the airports. It looks like everybody is going somewhere unknown to me.
At the end of the day, the best feeling is when you reach your destination. You can sit in the sunshine, and enjoy that well deserved drink.
Wherever I go on holidays, I am always very excited to discover the unknown. My very best, favourite quotes for traveling are:
1.“The gladdest moment in human life, me thinks, is a departure into unknown lands.” – Sir Richard Burton
2. “Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.” – Jennifer Lee
3. “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” -Gustav Flaubert
Love the quotes. You look happy with your well deserved drink. Cheers! 🙂

Beautiful post and I do agree with you about travel. The airports are emotionally painful……and physical too. Up there in the high altitudes life
takes on another dimension for a while.
Your quotes are great and altogether I love it …including a cocktail at the end.😊

Really nice post. You got such an exceptionally clear day for the picture of the land mass. Is that Turkey? Also curious what the drink was? You look very relaxed after a few sips ha ha enjoy.

The pictures are on the way to the Gagliare Islands, somewhere over Italy. My drink was just a mint lemonade, if was delicious!

Those were great pictures from the plane and I liked the last quote best … somewhere I’ve read it before but it sure fits the post to a “T” and is very true.

I used to play a game and we’d dock in Istanbul. The map we played was close, but seeing the reality made it special. Thank you for sharing.
