Back from Blighty



















It always amazes me that people can sit on a plane and never look out the window. Coming back from a quick trip to London, the moon was nearly full, the sun was setting and the view was awe inspiring. I wonder what people who lived only a hundred years ago would have made of this sight? We take so much for granted now that catching a plane is as convenient as catching a bus.




















If only this photo could capture the amazing light and scenery as we came on over Lake Geneva with the snow capped mountains turning pink in the distance. I got in the taxi and the Chilean driver told me he flies back for Christmas every year. How lucky we are!

Hi Felicity! I'm afraid I'm one of those people who never looks out the window on a plane, even though I know the views can be beautiful. Petrified of flying you see, just want the whole thing to be over as quickly as possible! Sad, I know. Love your photos though :)

Oh, sorry to hear that Janet. OK, I'll let you off!
