Great series. Not many of us get your "office" view.
And what is the name of the Glacier?

Thanks!

Well I don't know the name yet. I tried looking for it on Google Earth but I haven't identified it yet. All I know is that it's located slightly north-east of the Matterhorn. If anybody knows, please let us know :D.

Where do you work?

Awesome series. The lighting in the last two is great and the road in the second adds an interesting touch. Nice job.

I'm a pilot at Brussels Airlines, an airline from Belgium.

The road in the second one is actually a glacier several kilometers wide :D. Those pictures were taken a few days ago at sunrise at an altitude of 35000 feet, just on the Swiss-Italian border.

Awesome shots -- not exactly the vantage most photographers would be lucky enough to use too often.

I've never seen the world from the pointy part at that FL but I can totally relate to the excitement of seeing things from above!

Nice Series. Blue Skies...

Nice photos.
That's the Aletsch Glacier.

Check this pic from space.
You can easily match lots of features.
