Summary

Description

En route to Venice, I happened to look up from my book just as we were passing over Dover. It was a clear day, so I got this snap of Broadstairs and the rest of the Isle of Thanet (an island no longer). You wouldn't believe it from the photo, but it was so clear I was able to pick out individual boats in Ramsgate harbour.

I'm not sure how many dozens of times I've flown out this way, but this is the first time that a window seat, the flight path, a book's break between chapters and a clear sky have combined to give me a view of my old home town from space.
