Converging Rivers in France
Time for another in my series World from Above that l captured flying over France on a commercial flight from Munich to Tenerife, Canary Islands.
I was fascinated by this river delta and the surrounding fields, hills and valleys. I still haven’t found out where it is exactly so any pointers are very welcome!.
It is always worth keeping an eye on the landscape below when flying, and keeping the camera primed and at hand. Watch out for fascinating formations of fields, forests, lakes, hills and valleys whether formed by Nature or by Man.
Location: approx. 11,000 metres above France
Nikon D200, Sigma 18-200mm.

Hi! ;
) – Jipp. Of course it is okay. More are very welcome!!! ;))) When did you take these???....Kasia-D replied
Friederike, thank you:-)) This is just one of many that I have taken over the past couple of years. This particular flight was Condor from Munich to Tenerife and the angle of light, the windows and the weather were just perfect.
Karen Brodie ...
Stunning, I took some shots from the plane but not half as good as your shots :))
Kasia-D replied
Karen, thank you very much. I guess I had the advantage in that I’ve flown quite a bit over the last few years – business and pleasure – and usually had my faithful camera in my handbag ready for the right opportunities, which are really few and far between. K

I like the contrast between the water and the land. It almost looks like a computer fractal design.
Kasia-D replied
James, thank you very much. You’re right, there is a kind of digital feel to it.
