You join me aboard an Airlink flight this morning. I’m on a photo and video mission along the South coast today, which meant a 4am start.
Not great.
Looking out over the Western Cape at dawn is always a pleasure though, and it’s so good to see all the farmland dams in the Overberg glinting in the morning sunlight.
On a bigger scale, that’s Theewaterskloof dam in the middle of the shot through the mucky plane window. It’s very full.
Lovely.
The flight was rather delayed because of a baggage mislabelling issue (their excuse, not mine), so we’re already playing a bit of catch-up, and it’s going to be a long, busy day, but it’s all looking good – especially the weather for the outside shots.
Excellent.
Of course, this post won’t publish until we’re safely back down on solid ground again, so if you’re reading this, you can assume that my Embraer flight has gone rather better than Mr Prigozhin’s did last week. But then I didn’t unsuccessfully try to overthrow a despot a couple of months ago.
Safety first.
