This past week I traveled to London and Frankfurt.
Here are some interesting images from the week.
|
 |
London's Heathrow - The Concord - can be seen everywhere.
|
 |
In Germany, later in the evening they show Space TV. A satellite sends back images of the earth.
In the bottom left corner of the screen the satellite's position relative to the earth is displayed. I saw a meteor shower over Australia and thunderstorms over the US. In the background they play cool space/electronica tunes (and name the artist). Very relaxing.

 |
Heathrow terminal 1 - much nicer than terminal 4. Natural light is actually permitted here.
|
 |
The control tower at Schiphol (Amsterdam) airport.
|
 |
An exterior view of the Schiphol airport. The trains come in below, and on the second floor, you can get your plane - very efficient.
Hear the sounds of the airport (89.4Kb).

Flying at 33,000' over Germany while sitting in a comfy leather Lufthansa seat.
Had smoked fish, prosciutto, salad, bread, red wine, coffee and a chocolate. And they gave me a free copy of Newsweek.

Another view - this time including the engine of this Airbus plane.
