Remarks: Onboard Velocity 813 en-route from Melbourne to Sydney as we cruise at 37000 feet. This flight was originally scheduled to be operated by an Airbus A330-200, however a few months earlier Virgin took A332s off the MEL-SYD-MEL route. Photo taken from Seat 29A. My 200th photo on Jetphotos.net!
Remarks: Singapore-bound SQ232 makes a left bank over Cruwee Cove and out toward the Tasman Sea shortly after departing Sydney's RWY16R. This view of the Pratts powering over land and sea is now gone forever with the retirement of the last Singapore 744 in April 2012. [1200px.]
Remarks: The fortress Koenigstein "The Saxon Bastille" at the river Elbe near Dresden/Germany. This fortress is one of the biggest hilltop fortifications in europe.
Remarks: You can see the industrial aera "Schwarze Pumpe" (black pump) at Spremberg.
It was one of the main industrial areas of East-Germany. You can also see the big brown-coal-power-plant.
Remarks: AY 3847 from HEL to JOE, seat 9A. We're passing over the river Pielisjoki during our final approach towards JOE's runway 28. The small city of Joensuu is visible a bit further up the river. In the distance is lake Pyhäselkä.
