China and Russia

I've never been to Russia, and today we flew right across it.  But we didn't see a thing, because there was unbroken cloud cover extending from China all the way to the North Sea, shortly before we started descending into London.  That's about twelve hours of cloud, far below.  Our route took us over Finland, the Baltic Sea, across the southern tip of Sweden and over the North Sea.

We stopped over in Guanzhou, China - also known as Canton - but we saw very little there, too.  On the way in we flew through thick cloud and rain shortly before landing.  On the ground the air was so thick, either with mist or smog of a combination of the two, that we could not see beyond the perimeter of the airport.

Guanzhou - Not much to see out the windows
