There is something quite surreal about flying across the continent of Africa, particularly at night. The stars. Oh, the stars. I can’t express how many of them there actually are – the sky is FULL of them when you can actually see. At 40k feet, there is little else to keep the stars from my eyes and I can’t be more thankful. It’s like Jackson Pollack painted the night sky.
At the same time, though, it’s impossible to make the travel without wondering what’s going on beneath. Flying over Sudan and Rwanda makes you think, for sure. How can a continent this beautiful be so dangerous?
Needless to say, it was quite a flight. Beautiful, mysterious, and evocative. If only those pictures came out.
