[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Flying to Tenerife from Bologna, we flew along the north mediterranean coast. In this picture the plane is flying south-west, passing south of the Gibraltar Strait. We were actually above Morocco. Up on the right corner you can see the Gibraltar Rock and port; lower, right near the window frame, is Ceuta, the Spain's enclave in Africa.

Technical: the polarizer made funny colours with the plastics of the window, so I avoided it. In postprocessing I increased contrast in several ways, including a gradual alpha-mask to increase the contrast on the upper part of the picture without exceeding in the lower part.

questa è una imagine che ho visto non so tantissime volte. Ho fatto il viaggio Madrid-Casablanco almeno trenta volte ma non sono riuscito mai a fare questa foto. Grazie Marko per partaggiare la foto (ed escussa il mio italiano).
Un saludo.

Hi Marko.
Great view of the famous place, separating the european continent of the african one by only a few kilometers. In-flight photos are great. Bravo.
