Nov 2012: Landing in Heathrow

So I wake up on the flight back from Brazil to London, peer out of the porthole and see this amazing sight over France

the false dawn..

start crossing the British Coast

 

Its partially cloudy

But more clouds appear as we move inland, the wavy clouds are strange, almost like waves..

And you can see the cities through the cloud

long rolling cloudy waves

and another plane

heading away

Another plane crossing my vision

Another one heading off into the sunrise

crossing over to the other side

Now we are coming into land, the Olympic stadium

Zooming out…watching the East End.

there’s the Thames

Moving towards central London

The London Eye, with the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben on the bottom left hand side.

The neon lights of Piccadilly Circus are burning bright.

Green Park

An Amusement Park

Trying to see if I can identify my place as we move towards Western London

Ok, that’s close enough, that’s the Wembley Stadium, I'm about 5kms northwest from there..

See West London

God its boring

Coming into land

Heathrow BA terminal

The Concorde…

More planes parked

Just about touching down

And THUMPPPPPPPP, wheels touch down

One of the big Airbuses…those are seriously huge

You can make out 4 planes stacked up…one just about to land, and 3 behind it..BD is Home! :)
