Stockhom by morning

After a nice Easter weekend with the family I packed up and headed for a week in Stockholm. As always I dreaded the long, boring trip and having to leave the house at 4 am since United has cancelled a number of flights to Chicago. But I got very lucky with my seating - not only got I a exit row seating on my Chicago flight - I got upgraded to business on the SAS flight to Stockholm. Very nice! After watching a movie on a way larger screen and sleeping almost flat for four hours I was greeted by a very nice (and unusual) sight - Stockholm by morning (usually you arrive from north east when arriving from Chicago but for some reason we flew south and circled over Stockholm. 

The picture was taken by my Blackberry so I't not really good and the sun peaked out from under the clouds so the lightning conditions are pretty bad - but still.  Downtown Stockholm is in the middle, right of the sun and we're flying in over Hässelby. Soon after we flew north again towards Arlanda so couldn't get a better picture. But is sure was a beautiful sight!

Veronika - det var en helt fantastisk inflygning och avslut av en lång resa - såå sällan man få komma den vägen. Precis innan jag fick upp telefonen och tog bilden var solen ovanför molnen - då hade man tydligare kunnat se Globen, Hötorgsskraporna, Wennergren etc...

Annika - ja, visst är det så fantastiskt att få sen denna stad från luften. Vi får ju mest se skog öster ifrån när vi flyger in annars.
