UAE to UK



Dubai, Persian Gulf, Doha, Umm Qasr, Baghdad, Ba'qubah, Mosul, Diayrbakir, Elazig, Sivas, Cankiri, Black Sea, Constanta, Bucharest, Brasov, Cluj-Napuca, Budapest, Vienna, Brno, Regensburg, Nurnberg, Wurzburg, Frankfurt, Koblenz, Liege, Calais, London. The pic was taken over Regensburg, but most of the journey was clear. You could see the villages and the mountain passes of Eastern Turkey so clearly. I looked up some of the towns on google earth, not the ones I've been to.. the others. The ones I probably never will get to.

I was wondering - those people in Sivas and Ba'qubah, what did they think when they looked up and saw the glint of the sunlight on the plane? Did they also wonder about the lives of others? The separation is only 10km - but we were world's apart.
