Approaching Earth...

On the way to home in the United Kingdom from South Korea... I think we may have been flying over Syria...

Due to renewed interest, I have bumped this back to the top....

Please, no more group invites as this is already in the maximum 10 allowed...

Shall post some more of my recent London trip later...

A fantastic shot, Dave! So impressive to see this landscape!! It seems the flight was very high!!
Re: I didn´t forget the bred, but you was away. And there is really a problem. I asked at the post office how long time a package need to arrive England. Needs 2 days minimum (with plain) it will be dry in two days, very hard, not good to eat. If you like, I´ll send it anyhow....:))
