I was always sitting on the wrong side of the plane.
This is the area between Dubai and Sharjah during the take off. The pics from the landing are not worth to be posted.




This is the SZR skyline from the second landing. I took the next two pics with an exposure time of 1/5 at 135mm x1,6 crop factor = 220mm.
The area with the bright light is the Burj Dubai construction site.




Here are my best pics. Second take off. I was sitting again on the wrong side of the plane. The most pics showing Sharjahs skyline. I like the skyline of this city.
The pics are extrem photsohped because the view was not very good.










Please don`t ask. I myself want to know what it is












I like the next 2 pics the most so i upload them in a bigger version.

Please don`t ask. I myself want to know what it is


This is the University City in Sharjah.
From up to buttom, you can see Sharjah Library (top right), commencement hall (top left), university of Sharjah (middle left), and at the buttom part of the American University of Sharjah.

Check it out in Google Earth, you can see it clearly there. I will post for you later the coordinates .
