It was rather misty as we took off but for a few moments we could see the city below us. I didn’t manage to capture any details on my phone, so probably impossible for anyone to recognise where we had just left. However you do get a sense of the plane’s movement and can clearly see how cities light up our world. Not always a good thing, but still a rather fun photograph to share.
By the way I’m away for a few days now, so apologies in advance for any tardy responses to both comments and squares.
Aren’t the views from a plane compelling, especially at night. My pic today is leaving port on a ship https://somerville66.blogspot.com/2021/04/bright-squarechallenge-24.html

they so are – this is a city you may know. I usually catch the train there, and fly out.

Without reading your explanation I thought it was the close-up of a brooch or something of the kind 😄

travelling by plane – seems such a impossible thing to do at present!
Hope you had a good chat yesterday, I meant to pop by briefly but was 5pm before I knew it.
