Starry sea

Flying back from Bangkok we're skimming under a thick layer of stratus that's completely blackening out the sky. All there is outside is complete uninterrupted darkness and we could be the only object in the entire universe. Then slowly stars begin to appear beneath us. First it's just a few, then more and more until the sea is covered with little white twinkles.

The world isn't coming to an end, and we haven't started flying upside down, what we see is thousands of fishing boats out for a night of work. Seeing the tiny lights bobbing around is magical... Words fail me and I forgot to bring my camera.

A lightning flash and a kick in the bottom brings us back to reality: seatbelts on (again), select turbulence speed M0.76 (again), scan the blackness for that rogue thundercell that's hiding from the radar. The little bugger probably has friends lurking around nearby...
