Black Sea Coast
The beautiful contrast where the northern Turkish mountains meet the deep blue waters of the Black Sea.
Carpathian Mountains
The winding ridges of the Transylvanian Alps in Romania, often shrouded in atmospheric mist.
Budapest & Danube
A breathtaking aerial perspective of the Hungarian Parliament and the bridges spanning the Danube River.
Prague Cityscape
The historic 'City of a Hundred Spires' is frequently visible during the transit over the Czech Republic.
The Rhine Valley
The legendary German river winding through industrial heartlands and green forests as you descend into Duesseldorf.
A morning departure is best for the right side to avoid sun glare and capture the best light over Eastern Europe. The descent into DUS often follows the Rhine; keep your camera ready for the industrial architecture of the Ruhr area mixed with historic river towns. Look for the Parliament building when crossing the Danube.
