Just leaving Kirkwall Airport - Holm in the foreground and looking at the cloud over the flow.
Very early on in the flight we went into some cloud, but through gaps in the cloud had clear views, and once past Wick it was pretty much clear the whole way.
Looking across towards Deerness, "almost an island".
My house is actually in the above photo too - but you'll have to take my word for it because without having the large version to zoom into I doubt you'll spot it, even those who know exactly where it is. I love trying to get photos of my house from the plane, and have managed to get a couple recently now that I've been able to fly back from work in the isles a few times (but I'll save that for another blog entry.)
Pentland Skerries - first time I've seen it from the air (it's usually cloudy at this point!)
A not very good photo - but it's the first time I've seen marine wind turbines.
The blurry thing to the left is a large ship, which gives a sense of how large these turbines must be.
Loch Lomond - so we're nearly at Glasgow now.... Can I spot my friend's house?
I did once manage to get a photo of my brother's house in Renfrewshire from the plane!
Rhu and Helensburgh
