Pictures From Plane

Today's Route

     I could hardly see the earth on the outbound way to Germany due to thick clouds, though outside was always daytime for the twelve hours of flight. I've never been to China, Mongolia, Russia, etc.  In short, I haven't been to any of the countries but South Korea on the Eurasia. I really wanted to see the land from the plane, but couldn't. As for the return flight, we would go through the short night time zone around Siberia. I didn't expect anything about the scenery from the window. However, I could see the lights of Irkutsk and the dark blue and mysterious surface of Lake Baikal under the full moon. I'll show you two pictures of Irkutsk first.

        I met the rising sun when the plane was just going out of China into the Yellow Sea. The earth had a specific terrain so that you would find where it was. The next two bright pictures were of the Incheon International Airport. I had landed at this airport last March and I remembered it. In the next picture, Han River, which runs through Seoul City, and Imjin River, which separates North and South Korea, merges at under the Odusan Unification Observatory by which I had passed this March. I wrote about this observatory here.

  

     The last three pictures are of Han River in the center of Seoul City, which divided into three parts. I could detect the hotel that I had stayed at in March.

These pictures are really neat! I LOVE looking out the window when in the air. I always choose the window seat, even if I know I should be sleeping. (sarah)
