Tokyo from the air at night

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2024.09.20

I had a flight for work at 19:00 on a Friday. We were delayed twice, changed gates, and then for some reason looped all the way around Tokyo Bay before heading west. We wound up circling Fukuoka as well, so I didn't get to my hotel at 23:00. Work travel, what can I say.

Every cloud's got a silver lining, they say. In this case the silver linings were the image below and the fact that I flew directly over our home at just about the time that The Boy was getting home.

Apologies for the glare in the center of the image. The stuff in the upper right were tufts of cloud.
