DELHI to ZÜRICH
This was another one of overnighters where I wake up at 5:30AM to land before I have to go to to school. I took off around 9:30 EST which was when the sun was rising Delhi. I try to plan my flights that I’m going to post so that it is daytime for 75% of the flight, unless it’s over the ocean or going North where it’s always dark. Since I took off from Delhi just after sunrise and flew West, this was an all daytime flight, but I was flying with the sun directly at my back. This made almost every photo backlit and any photographers know that you do not want to have backlit shots.Although the lighting was not ideal, the views were still awesome, like the Alps always are. I used the Swiss A330 which is used in real life and flight time was 8 hours 24 minutes.

Taking off through Delhi’s thick morning smog
Putting the gear up in the soupy air. Delhi’s fog is actually not caused by pollution like most people believe it is, it is caused by farmers burning crops In other states which drifts to the city and causes the smog Under the full moon over Western India Overflying Adjara, Georgia as we get close to crossing the Turkish border over the Black Sea The never-ending, always amazing views of the Alps as we overfly Austria and the town of Schladming Crossing the North Side of the Alps over Oberndorf as we prepare to descend into Zürich Descending through the Classic, European towns of hilly Switzerland Putting the gear down in the blue, winter light of Zürich Approaching the runway in the shadow of the Alps Touching down as the clock strikes noon in Zürich!
As always please let me know your thoughts and your favorite photo!
