Sunrise over eastern Caspian sea.

08:45 Monday. CdG airport, Paris. Almost deserted, see extras.
No wrinkles whatsoever with our Mumbai – Paris flight 10 hours – passed in about ten hours. Slightly sore bum, but that's another story, involving too many helpings of Aloo Mutter.

Main is self titled.

Woke last night from a shallow dream of real beer, just in time to catch this shot before the plane turned away from that view.

The picture at CdG is astounding. Very few planes moving, apart from those being towed away to storage. In the terminal building a similar story, Very, very few people about – see extras.

Just about an hour to wait now for our homeward flight. The plane is sitting at the end of the gantry and a few, very few uniformed persons have appeared. Off we go again.
