Summary

[edit]
Description

This photo of El Prat airport at Barcelona, Spain was taken as my flight flew out over the Mediterranean Sea before turning inland again, to land. After 11pm landing aircraft use that runway to minimise noise polution over the city.

In the picture is the newer Terminal One on the left and the older terminal Two forming a long line on the right. You should be able to see some aircraft on their parking stands. At the very bottom you can see red lights that are on top of the control tower.

I know that the sharpness of the picture isn't great but I was in a fast-moving plane and as you can see it was dark. It was necessary to use a high ISO in order to get a useable photo. We were descending through 9000 feet and travelling at approx 240 knots.
