Never take it for granted
by Ljubenka
I just returned from a shoot in San Francisco. I love this US city and there is something special and different about San Fran from most other places I visit.
San Francisco – Just landed and heading directly to my fitting
You can blindfold me before getting off an aircraft and I just know whether I’m on the east or west coast of America. On the west coast, the skies are bluer and clearer (or so they seem) — there is a feeling of space, clarity and nature. I love the difference between the coasts.
San Francisco – The skies are blue and vast
As my plane was descending and about to land, I looked outside my window and saw the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 that crashed upon landing, lying on the runway, only days before my arrival.
I was shocked to see it, seeing the plane in real life — what made headlines all over the world for days on end was now staring up at me as I flew over it.
It was so surreal and strange as I stared out the window. I was reminded how precious life is and how blessed I feel with the all the traveling I do.
San Francisco Airport
To all those involved and affected by this horrible tragedy, my thoughts and condolences go out to you. I am deeply sorry.
