These photos were taken while the airplane approached the Hurghada airport.

You may notice that some photos are blurry at the bottom of the images, this is a result of the hot exhaust from the jet engine. There was no chance for me to change my seat... ... (more)

These are great Rafal. I have never tired to take pix from the aircraft.... too difficult for me LOL I know exactly what you mean about culling hundreds of photos after a trip.. To me, they are all treasures, & deleting or omitting any is like ignoring some of your children ;o)

Considering the difficulties
Rafal, you did a remarkable job of taking pictures from the aircraft. It's not easy, we all know that, but being lovers of Egypt we will accept anything that is offered. Delightful shots to be added to my collection. Many thanks for your work. Cheers Terry. Especially good in the larger format. Detail is exquisite.
