on the way back home: Africa + the Strait of Gibraltar





back home. the sky was kind yesterday: calm at home, without snow and above freezing. and during the flight, some great views, and i was lucky and had a seat a the "sight" side of the plane.

in the first photo, you can see the coast of Africa - that's Marocco, and the hills in the background belong to the Atlas mountains range. and below: the Strait of Gibraltar. the place where Africa ends, and Europe starts, where the Atlantic flows into the Mediterranean Sea. (here are more images, via google, including some maps).

language sidenote: in German, this place is called: "Straße von Gibraltar": Street of Gibraltar. as if it was a road.
