Is that Lausanne?
And Lac Léman?
Can my friend see
me flying here?
I wave, and
hope they're waving back at me.
Seeing the world from above always inspires me. There's so much going through my mind when I look down, in awe, at our beautiful planet. One fun thing to do is trying to recognise what is below. When I flew back from Farcon Rome, it was actually quite easy to recognise some parts. Lac Léman, AKA Lake Geneva, is quite recognisable and seeing it reminded me of the friends I have who live near there. Internet friends and family friends. It was nice to think of them, so I waved. Not that they would have noticed, but still: what if?
What do you look for when you are flying?

Dutch broadcaster VPRO made a wonderful series called Nederland van boven, or The Netherlands from above. It shows the country, as the title suggests, from above. Here's a short video they released from the province I was born in.
