A few from the west coast of Jutland, Denmark. Esbjerg and the Island of Fanř in particular...

I wasn't sure where to put this - inclusion in the 'where in the world' thread would have been too easy.
Dabbling around in some pre-Christmas idle-time I generated this: it is lidar (laser detection and ranging) data of Heathrow. Although looking something like a heat map, it is height data - the brighter areas being higher, the darker areas lower. The terminal buildings are clearly seen, as are the parked aircraft with a couple of 747's at T5B and T5C (if you look closely you can see the forward bulge in the fuselage).
(The data has been resampled from 50cm to 1m resolution - the original data being accurate to a few mm vertically).

Some from DUS - we arrived on BA 944 having been moved from the LGW - CGN. Ended up with a 2 hr delay due to flow rate.

Only taken with an iPhone but it’s a great view I have atm. Thanks to everyone who regularly posts photos throughout the year, this is one of the threads I enjoy looking at.

From Zillertal in Austria. I had already packed all my camera gear away ready for the flight back to the UK when I saw this out of the apartment window. Had to shoot this...

Beautiful work, itsmeitisss. I can't wait to show Mr. J the photos contrasting iPhone with "proper" camera. I may have asked before, so apologies, but what do you use?
