Over Afghanistan

Over Afghanistan
Near Kabul at 12000 M. Our route passed over India and Pakistan near Kashmir, this airspace since closed.

Explored.

ADDENDUM: I'm using only my phone on this trip and, though the ipernity app allows me to post images, I find I am unable to add them to groups or to interact with others' images or comments. I've just briefly logged on to a 'real' computer, so please excuse me for not responding while away.

A great mountain landscape! You have been lucky to escape before the closures:-) I once flew over Afghanistan in the dark, it felt very spooky.

Afghanistan wasn't a worry, Steve, but I had been closely watching the developments between India and Pakistan.

Isn't this just breathtaking!!! What an incredible sight. I love looking out of a plane window and contemplating how insignificant we all are, and what a glorious planet we live on. And then I spiral off into thoughts of the insignificant speck our planet is...our galaxy...in this ever-expanding, inconceivably enormous universe we are so privileged to live in. A wonder.

Many thanks, everyone, for your kind comments on this image. In few days we return home, though this time likely not over Pakistan and Afghanistan (following the recent border problems). I'm adding a few comments such as this with a borrowed computer. :-)

A sea of mountains. I wonder that this flight took the route over Afghanistan.

tiabunna club has replied to Berny club
The 'standard' route from Singapore to Europe was across India, then skirting the disputed area and across Pakistan, then north over Afghanistan, Uzbekistan etc, and (apparently depending on winds) various routes across Europe. On our return we crossed Poland, skirted north of Turkey, then crossed Iran, the Persian Gulf and India. The website flightradar24.com shows the tracks.

Strange, my daughter had a flight some days ago from Bangkog to Vienna and they avoided Afghanistan, see

Yes, the route your daughter's plane followed was more or less what ours followed on our return from Europe. Our flight to Europe followed what was a standard route at the time and was a few days prior to the military hostilities (re Kashmir) between India and Pakistan which have led to a re-routing away from that area.
