A few photos over the wing

There are perhaps no more notorious photos than "over the wing" from an airplane window.

Every time I think "it's always the same", and every time I can't resist taking pictures.

The first photo was taken shortly after take-off from Vienna. What peeks out from the low clouds could be the peaks of the Austrian Totes Gebirge.

Soon we got to a higher flight level and the ground disappeared from our sight. The next photos are from about ten thousand meters and the thick cloud cover below us looks like a groomed snow surface.

A few tens of minutes later the setting sun began to colour the sky and the clouds with evening reds.

For aircraft, it is important that the number of take-offs is the same as the number of landings. We will be landing in Brussels. We're coming in from the south, so we've probably just flown over the famous village of Waterloo.

On the way back from Brussels to Vienna, I will again offer a view of the Austrian mountain range with the rather depressing name of Totes Gebirge - Dead Mountains. This time in the morning sun.

But someone told me that the Julian Alps, about 250 km away, could be on the horizon. I don't know, I can't guess.

Our return flight ends at Vienna airport. Last photo with the wing of the Airbus A-320 with the aerodynamic brakes up.
