Honorable Mention
Midnight over Siberia
DESCRIPTION
Cruising over Siberia, the midnight summer sun stays close to the horizon and displays a bright band of colors for the entire 7 hour flight.Some bright night clouds (also called noctilucent clouds) shine high up in the atmosphere while the full moon paints the very few clouds below in her silver white light and the countless stars in the infinitely large sky above.
AUTHOR
Born in The Netherlands in 1983, I wanted to become a pilot from a young age on. At the age of 20, I found my first job on the Fokker 50 turboprop where I flew under various contracts in local operations in Africa and Afghanistan. At the age of 23 I started on the Boeing 737 and at the age of 28 I joined my present airline on the Boeing 747 Freighter where I fly now for over 6 years.
Operating in a global network with countless of destinations, I find joy in capturing the beauty and the world from above with my camera. A great admirer of natural light, I have the best office and views in the world from 35.000ft, being able to capture everything I see. The global network also gives me the chance to visit many cities in the world and I find more and more joy in capturing the moods and atmospheres I find in every corner of this planet as well.
