Clouds-11 viewsThe weather was not that great when we were in Frankfurt but it was quite amazing to see the clear blue sky when we were flying above the clouds. They were so white and fluffy...I could definitely use a quick nap.

Fields-17 viewsThere are miles and miles of fields growing various type of crops. Windmills that are probably used for generating electricity are clearly visible from the sky.
