Sunset Flight into Edinburgh

As my plane banked over the Forth Estuary we had the most breathtaking view. The low sun illuminated the islands and ships in the river, and the famous bridges connecting South Queensferry and Fife. The glistening waters and dusk skies were mesmerizing.

I am an Edinburgh lass and have landed there innumerable times. I always take a window seat, if possible, and have my camera at hand. Often we land from the west or there is thick cloud or the wing is in the way. Or there are irritating reflections from the window glass. I’m sure you know the problems, regardless of how well you plan. Once there wasn’t even a window!?

Last March, on my way from Munich, we’d flown up the British east coast after crossing from the Netherlands. Just south of Edinburgh we headed out over the Firth of Forth before turning upstream towards the airport.

With or without camera, I have rarely had such a view. Talk about luck. I was in the perfect seat, not only to enjoy the exceptionally stunning scene but also to capture this photo. It now takes pride of place on my wall.
