Mt Fuji at Dusk from Cathay Pacific HND-HKG 30th Nov
Hi,
Mt Fuji in the distance flying HND HKG
Approaching Mt Fuji
Experienced a wonderful view of Mt Fuji on departure on 30th November on the 1610 CX HND-HKG flight ( 5 of the previous 7 days in Tokyo had cloud and rain but the last 2 days had clear skies). Taken from my mobile phone ( have more on the DSLR but have had problems uploading these previously)
Regards

Take off from LGA
I felt this was better captured by video. Rarely fly out of LGA but I was glad to have done it this day last summer. Rarely have things line up for such a clear view of NYC ( in my experiences )

I was out for a walk yesterday and heard a sound I hadn't heard in a while. I realized what it was and looked up:
I was supposed to take off on a month-long trip in a few days, and this brought home to me the fact that I was not going to be flying away.
Earthbound.
