Flying in South California (pictures)

Here are some pictures I took during my last trip to San Diego, CA.
I mostly flew in the area, that is San Diego, the desert to the East, Los Angeles and Catalina Island.
Fortunately I had my camera and tele-lenses with me.
Planning a much bigger plane trip for the upcoming winter.

Good night Amsterdam


Good night Amsterdam (The Netherlands). To the left is Utrecht, in the background right on the shoreline you have The Hague and to the left of it Rotterdam. In the distance, you can probably spot Antwerp (Belgium) and behind it slightly to the left, that would be Brussels but you cannot see it in this photo.

Schiphol airport (AMS/EHAM) is the brightest spot on this photo, right on the middle of the frame, just behind the city slightly to the right. The bright parts being the terminals, you cannot see the runways.
