Aerial view of Lago di Lugano

Lago di Lugano is an alpine lake high up in the Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. I took this photo from 30,000ft on a flight from Amsterdam to Milan. The town of Lugano in Switzerland, including its airport (bottom left), can clearly be seen. The causeway that crosses the lake (bottom right) carries highway no. 2 which is one of the main road links between Switzerland and Italy.

Flying into Innsbruck

The flight approach into Innsbruck, Austria, is simply spectacular! Passengers are almost at eye-level with the impressive peaks of the Alps. I took these photos on my flight to Innsbruck last summer. The massive peaks, the verdant valleys and the little villages were absolutely beautiful from the air!

Read the accompanying post: “Plane Views: Innsbruck“.

White pebble beach in Albir

Albir is a small seaside town located halfway between Valencia and Alicante in Spain. The town is home to one of the most beautiful pebble beaches I’ve ever been to. The turquoise water of the Mediterranean Sea contrasts beautifully with the gorgeous white pebbled beach.
