Returning Home

My last day in Athens! Toward the afternoon I made my way back to the airport, to proceed with my journey home. At this time I was feeling rather sad as my trip was coming to an end. I did not realize that I would still shoot some really amazing pictures! So I was on the plane, at 37 000 feet, flying over the alps in Austria. When I looked out of the window, I saw the sun disappearing on the horizon. The view below! It is difficult to describe! The incredible view of the mountains from 37 000 feet, with shadows caused by the setting sun behind the mountain peaks. This was creating streaks of light and darkness on the adjacent peaks. It was a task to shoot this from the plane. To shoot this incredible view of our planet, I first had to clean the glass of the window in the plane. The reflection of the window did not make these shots easy. I had to be careful of the angle of the camera with the glare off the glass.
