Flying in the Sky. Above the Earth.

Flickr, Editorial, Times&Spaces Add comments

Sky is an environment we are being in while we are at work. Take a break and have a look inside this domain.

Sunset at 20.000 feet It is not only ABOVE us, but pretty much all AROUND, and there’s quite a bit below. As much as you can cram into 15, 20, or 41 thousand feet of space vertically.

Once in a while we would meet other aircraft - the sky is pretty busy environment, as a matter of fact.

NWA A-330 Maybe, the pilots flying this NWA’s Airbus watched us too. Maybe not.

A few tiny splits of second, and we are miles apart..

Air France going East

..and in a few hours we would be thousands miles apart.

Tail Trails

Not too often, but now and then we would see something interesting

Geometry of light Rays of Shadow

We observed this light show one early morning, the sun was low, and layers of clouds on the horizon casted multiple shadows onto other clouds, and so on..

And see, this is a jet stream.

Jet Stream

Very neat. June, 30th, 2007. The jet stream was so ‘active’ that it was leaving a ‘footprint’ of thin cirrus.

And this ’sunset shooting photo-session’ continued no longer than a couple of minutes - it appears the sun moves much faster towards the horizon as we descend

There’s always something interesting to see on the ground

Let’s call it a day..

    Hello,

    Nice to hear from you. Thank you for visiting my ‘corner’ again.

    Yes, sometimes we see ’some stuff’ :) You, probably saw those Flickr pictures with Moon eclipse of March, 3rd.

    In my turn I wanted to ask you if you have any aviation related pictures and associated stories that we could post here, - say, something from the Calgary airport history, etc.?

    If you do, we would be able to arrange this.
    And I’ll post a picture of a TV set that we used to watch the Winter Olympics of 1988. We lived in Kazan (the USSR) then, and the Olympics were in Calgary :) I put a link to your photos - that’s how YOU saw them ‘life’, eh?

    It’s a joke, but I have to say: ‘Exchange and communication’,- we still need to keep it going. In order to ‘buffer the Clash’, to make it smooth and fun :)

    Talk to you,

    C
