Past Dinner Time in Belgium

Airplane tickets to India are expensive even though airline companies are finally making profit. Qatar Airways was the cheapest deal, at a fantastic price, but we had to pay a different price too- a 12 hour pit stop. Our first flight was 13 hours, then a stop in Qatar for 12 hours, and then a final flight of 4 hours. I traveled with my sister, my aunt, her 2 sons, and a friend. The first flight was very long but never boring because time flies when you have countless movies to watch in front of you. But phew it was a long ride.

We took off in the morning from Philadelphia. We saw the sun set on Europe, and rise again on the Middle East.  I took this picture somewhere over Belgium, near Brussels to be exact. And you could see city lights in every direction. Very cool view. The sun is just starting to set, I'd say I took this at 8 o'clock there. Just past dinner time. 

I took the picture above (original) with my iPod because I didn't have my camera with me. I was sitting in the middle on the left section of the plane, so I had to lean over to take the picture. I didn't try to focus or anything. Just snap and done. Once I took the picture, I saw that it was too dark and you couldn't see the lights. Again, iPod quality. I didn't delete it because I thought I could always edit it later. Once we landed, and when I was stuck with jetlag, I edited the picture above. The main thing I did was add exposure, and tadaa, you can see Belgium! Buut it's not that great because it's iPod quality. 

Oh and by the way, the 12 hour wait in Qatar was boring. 12 hours is a long time in an airport and it was day time there too, but we just slept. Our food and sleep schedule was really messed up. The next 4 hour plane wasn't great because the number of movies was very limited. Qatar airways has pretty good service, not so great food, all for a good price.
