The Peak District
Early flight views of the dark peaks and moorlands south of the Manchester-Sheffield corridor.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of wind turbines visible in the North Sea near the UK and Danish coasts.
Lake Vättern
A dramatic view of this long, deep rift lake that dominates the center of southern Sweden.
Stockholm City Center
Panoramic views of Gamla Stan and the Royal Palace, typically visible during the southern approach to Arlanda.
Bromma Airport
The smaller city-center airport can often be spotted tucked among the suburban islands.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent into Stockholm; if the flight approaches from the south, you will likely see the city's unique island geography. For photography, late afternoon flights provide warm light on the Swedish forests and lakes.

A vast expanse of blue, occasionally featuring large commercial shipping vessels and fishing fleets.
North Jutland
The sandy northern tip of Denmark and the Limfjord waterway slicing through the landscape.
Gothenburg Archipelago
A stunning collection of rocky outcrops and islands on the Swedish west coast.
