Traveling on an airplane always makes me feel like a bird. That's because you get a 'bird's eye view' of the entire city you were just in a couple minutes ago and feels so great to have that amount of change of perspective. If you ever kept looking out the window and felt a philosophical feeling in your heart about "life", you know what I'm talking about.
Anyways, yesterday, I came back to India after visiting my parents in Nepal and I captured some really amazing views from the plane. I was flying out of Kathmandu and as you may know, Kathmandu city is a valley and it surrounded by beautiful, lush green hills that are just breathtaking to look at from that height.
Take a look at this photo for example, and you'll know what I mean. Isn't this truly a sight to behold? One of nature's finest works in my opinion.
This was the view of the city as the plane had just taken off.
It's really difficult to believe that it is the same city that was hit by an almost 8 Richter magnitude a couple years back.
This photo below is one of my favorite shots. To me, it really has that mystic feel to it. The play of the depth and height make it so much more appealing. People actually live on top of these hills.
I am not a photographer. Not by a long shot. Not even an amateur one. So, if my attempt at being 'artistic' with this glass of coke fails to impress you, I apologize!
This was a really delicious meal. Really! I know airplane food is considered not tasty in general, but this was good!
This is my wondering face, if any of you ever wondered!
I also managed to capture a couple photos of the sunset. Sunsets are always beautiful, no matter what. There is something about the colors and how they wash the entire sky with a sort of calm and serenity.
Wow, that 6th image is a real gem!
I also love it, especially when travelling from Oslo (the Capital in Norway) to Stavanger (the city I am from), as you get the mountain ranges and the fjords perfectly in view as you fly over :)
Cool to get to see you as well!
Thank you :)
Yeah, flying really lets you enjoy mother nature in all her glory. It's amazing. I didn't know what an fjord was so had to google it. Wow, they are so beautiful!! :D
it's really interesting being on a plane ..
"Traveling on an airplane always makes me feel like a bird"u sounded like me there 😀

Beautiful photos! Sounds like areally amazing trip. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you :)
Your favourite picture is mine too! You seem to have a good sense of humour, your post made me smile. Thank you
Thank you for the kind words :)
Good photos my friend. Yes perspectives can vary depending on the angle. So too in life. The more angles one can see the object or issue, the greater the grasp on the bigger picture. So too in an airplane. Many dimensions exist and man cannot necessarily grasp. Knowing they are out there helps in the acceptance of others and humility of oneself. Thanks for allowing me some intellectual intercourse for the day.
You always have great philosophical views. Thank you so much :)
Nice, please follow me
Thanks!
good work ! have a nice trip ! thank you for sharing
Thank you :)
very nice clicks. can't believe you clicked them while flying especially the sun!!
haha, yeah I did. :D
Never been on a plane lol. First picture is nice, secon would have been better if you cropped out the window :)
Cheers
Thanks! I intentionally didn't crop the window, so the perspective could be clear. :)
All the images have been captured very beautifully. It's amazing.
Thank you :)
A few days ago I made a post about airships (https://steemit.com/science/@hmushtaq/before-airplanes-these-beasts-used-to-roam-the-sky) whose popularity ended after the Heidenburg disaster and of course due to faster winged aircrafts. But as I mentioned there, flying on them was much more luxurious. It was sort of a flying hotel. I would really like airships to make a comeback. Maybe we could have a hybrid airplane/airship, which is faster than an airship but more luxurious than an airplane. Another good thing about airships was that you could fly at low altitude with them, so you would have a good scenery throughout the flight, and won't have to deal with pressurized cabins of airplanes.
I think airships have become impractical for long distance flight, for obvious reasons. For shorter distances, yes, it could be a good experience, especially to take in all the sceneries of the city.
Flying is a strange thing, humans are formed to live on the ground but still we managed to get over that handicap to rule the world from above. Shows, what we humans are capable of. If only I didn't get sick everytime I'm inside an airplane, that always kills the beautiful sight for me 😅 but nice shots anyway
Yeah, we always manage to surpass our limitations. Air, water, land, we are everywhere!! haha
When I take pictures in an Airplany the pictures are mostly blurry :D
I think you should change your airline company ;) hehe
I like your wondering face :D
Thank you :)

Thank you :)
Excellent photos of your airplane view! I always look forward to seeing landscapes and sea formations whenever I ride a plane. It is just so amazing to see different sceneries as you reach your destination. Anyway, continue posting stuff like this and I think you will be more successful! Thank you!
Yeah, the views are absolutely spectacular. Thanks for the kind words :)
I always love to travel near window. Views are absolutely stunning. Love your photos
Yeah, I always try to get a window seat too. Would get so bored otherwise! hehe
Oh. Cool. Thanks for your sharing.
Thanks for viewing :)
Amazing mountains down there- would be great for camping and hiking.
Yes, totally!!
Many travelers hope to get a seat near a porthole by flying. And that's understandable ! The view is sublime ! Each territory overflown is a surprise to us, the game of lights becomes fascinating at dawn or dusk ...
Yes, exactly! :)
I have been on a plane but never felt like this the way you explained it.
I always wish for the window seat because I love the outside view.
I love the view of the city at the time of take-off and landing. As at that time we will be able to see the beauty of that city as you mentioned with bird's eye view. And one more thing I love that we will be able to look at the planning of the city. I have been to Dubai a few months back and I was amazed to look how that city was planned.
Yeah, I always try for the window seat as well, otherwise it's so boring! haha
You also make a good point about noticing the planning of the city, which we simply can't observe from ground levels or even from a hilltop.
I always wanted to visit Nepal. Such a beautiful place and love the monastery's architecture style. I remember seeing one place on TV, which had like a lot of steps to climb to reach there.
Yeah, it's a really beautiful country. You should visit if you get the chance. I think the place you are referring to is Swayambhu.
Wow! Best use of camera. I have taken similar kind of shots from my airplane window. I have shaeed it on my blog . You will like it. But you are the best.
