Today I started to a business trip to Teheran. The bad thing about business trips is that I have to go alone. The seat right beside me is empty and I really would like to have it occupied with my sweety who now sits at home doing “brain gavage” to get ready for her next CIIA exam.

While I recently created all the other posts “after the event” using a selection out of thousands of pictures that we have taken during our various trips, I will try to make this post as “real-time” as possible. This one actually goes out at 30,000ft above Romania. Thanks to Lufthansa on-board Internet access.

So here’s the first picture that I took shortly after take-off of LH600 from Frankfurt airport. I have been travelling on airplanes a lot. But it still amazes me every time I see those colors at sunset looking out of the plane’s window.
