Description

Picture taken from the cockpit of an A320 fliying from Valencia, Spain, to Madrid, Spain, at 25,000 feet. As the two other pictures Ihave just submitted, I think they can be interesting for having been taken from the cockpit of an airliner, though their quality cannot match that of the pictures you display.
