Up In The Air .... Part 21

The latest edition of Up In The Air is back with some breathtaking photos from a recent trip to Bhubaneshwar, Orissa. This time around, I was forced to travel on IndiGo, an airline that I love to hate for their snootiness, after a bad experience last year. 

But the sights from Up In The Air more than compensated for the chilling reminders of how callous and haugthy IndiGo had been with me....

We were crossing Maharashtra into Chhattisgarh....

Clouds over Chhattisgarh were amazing....

And the horizon looked breathtaking with its brilliant blue....

Now you know why I love blue, but not the blue of IndiGo...

Massive cumulonimbus clouds as we entered the airspace over Orissa...

We trailed the Mahanadi as we set course for Bhubaneshwar...

These clouds seem to be left behind by Cyclone Hudhud....

The Mahanadi is quite a beauty...

The cumulonimbus clouds appeared to be scattering...

The greenery of Orissa is a massive treat for the eyes...

The hide and seek with the Mahanadi continued....

 I love this greenery....

The shadow of the clouds...

This is like paradise...

The Mahanadi in the distance....

On the short finals into Bhubaneshwar....

On the way back, I did encounter the beautiful sights Up In The Air, but I did have to catch up with sleep...

The next edition of Up In The Air should follow soon...

Up In The Air .... Part 12

I have always loved the awesome views of the verdent forests you get when landing at Bhubaneshwar! This week when I visited Bhubaneshwar, I was well armed with my camera to capture and share the awesome scenaries with readers of this blog!

The approach to BBI with the Mahanadi River in the distance....

The approach captured on video!

The return trip was equally awesome!

The sky was brilliantly blue. Wish I could be Up In The Air, forever!!!!!

Amazing Indian Landscapes Part 7

On the way back from Paradeep to Bhubaneshwar, we "caught up" with magnificent sunset. This was the first time I saw the sun set in 2013. That made me realise how much I have been missing.

The sun and the clouds, it seemed were playing a fascinating game of cat and mouse. 

I really wish I could take out a little more time to enjoy more of such beautiful experiences that cost nothing, but still are priceless!

The clouds "gobbled up" the sun!

And in a few seconds, the sun emerges from underneath the cloud!

So long! Till we meet again....
