Dust in the air

Courtesy of the Sahara Desert?

As it happens, a plume of dust blew North from the Sahara and hung around off the coast of Portugal. Could it be that it's putting on a show every sunrise and sunset for three days?... and counting...

Peeking out the window...

... on my way to Cuba, I caught a glimpse of the Bahamas.

This is one of the many photos I took out the window since I was hopelessly drawn to that "red engine casing/clouds in the background" combination during most of the tiresome 8-hour flight...

The thin stripes of land down below stirred up my imagination and look forward even more intensely to the warm waters of Varadero, which I had been missing dearly since 2001.

A few hours later we finally we landed in Cuba - the place to be for great sea- and skyscapes!
