During my recent trip to Uttarakhand , I was faced with a problem I had never encountered before. We were passing through Delhi, but we had hardly any time in the city. On earlier visits when I have had to change trains/flights at Delhi, I have always arrived in the morning and left again at night, visiting relatives in between. This time, I was arriving in the city at night, and leaving again early in the morning. There was hardly any time to visit people. I would only have a couple of hours with them before I’d have to leave again. For the first time, we considered booking a hotel, but there again, we were hesitant about the actual hotels, the costs involved, and the logistics of getting from the airport to the railway station and then back again from the station to the airport. That’s when we remembered reading something about a corporate-managed lounge at Delhi station. We soon figured out that we could book online and pay by the hour.

Here is Skywatch today, with a difference. Instead of posting images of the sky, here are some images from the sky! I clicked these from the plane, as our flight from Raipur hovered over the Western Ghats, approaching Mumbai....

Wow! The Western Ghats are quite rugged and austere, but very beautiful. The patches of green emphasize the terrain features quite dramatically. I love the pic of the sun on the river too... it looks like a dragon with a long tail!
ReplyDeleteI am always entranced by the scenery when flying (as long as you can actually see anything besides clouds, that is!). Flying along or over the Rocky Mountain range in the U.S. is fascinating, as well as the patchwork patterns of fields in the mid-west of the country.
Thanks for sharing the lovely pics!
Wow! Beautiful!
