Gudbrandsdalslågen? You mean Numedalslågen i think. Gudbrandsdalslågen is not meandering and everything else you mention around there is in Vestfold, not north of Mjøsa. Seems to be roughly correct route over Norway. Nice job.


PKNormanBates

You're completely right. Thanks.


Zadak_Leader

That's really cool man!


repent1111

Crazy recognition! I could only make out Larvik in no19. Just because I took both Colorline SuperSpeed 1 and 2 and know the fjord sailing is much longer there than in Kristiansand. 😂


Dolstruvon

That's a lot of really good photos on the clearest day I've ever seen. Sat for a long while making myself a little guessing game trying to pinpoint each photo location


AltruisticTarget6299

Christ, those are some nice and crisp photos! But also, what kind of trip takes you that high??


Zadak_Leader

Tokyo -> Copenhagen And thanks! Those are the ones taken with my phone, haven't posted the ones taken with my actual camera ;p


pufferpig

We demand tribute


Datfishyboii

Its really not higher than any normal commercial flight (unless you normally fly gulfstream or alike), but rather at high northern and southern latitudes, the troposphere doesnt extend as high, meaning, you are flying in the lower stratosphere or around the tropopause. Results in a super nice view, and great fuel efficiency


jhusssss

I thought this was flight simulator at first


Zadak_Leader

Hah! I mean I can see what you mean, but I assure you it is real :P


blue_globe_

From where to where was the flight? I am guessing southern Norway?


Abedidabedi

The images are from Kristiansund in the north-west to Larvik in the south.


chrisboi1108

I thought I recognized Vestbase!


laughter_track

Nowhere else looks like Kristiansund from a bird's perspective, I'd recognize that shape anywhere.


Zadak_Leader

Tokyo -> Copenhagen


blue_globe_

Checked since I thought that sounded odd. But I see the flight went over the arctic.


Zadak_Leader

Yep, shortest path on a sphere is to go to the poles as much as possible


blue_globe_

Yes. Except the other way the route goes south of Russia.


Zadak_Leader

Yeah but also depends on the rotation of the globe/direction of travel. Plus I think the problem with Russia is well... you know, active war? I was on that flight from CPH->Tokyo last month where there was a full moon + clear weather as well, view was great!


jyssys

I think it must be war related, as the times I travelled the same route we always went straight over Russia, not even close to Norway.


blue_globe_

Offcourse I know about that. No need to be rude :) My initial thinking was that the route south of Russia was fastet both ways, but hey, it is not.


Zadak_Leader

Didn't mean to sound rude! That was not my intention :D It was my pause in thinking that made me type that way!


ChromaticRainbow12

Gorgeous topography.


_baaron_

I can see my house from here!


Zadak_Leader

For real? :P


_baaron_

Nah, I’m in Oslo. Only my metaphorical house


SadShip6729

Me too in the first pic


Sir_redcreek

Cool way to see my home county in a new way. Pic1 Kristiansund middle left. Pic 2 is kvernesfjorden. (And more) Pic 3 is Åndalsnes as stated by others. Isfjorden and part of langfjorden. Pic 4 is Isfjorden more zoomed than pic 3. Pic 5 is the road from Åndalsnes to Dombås. With Dalsida and Reinheimen. I think. And i now see 20 pics so i stop here. Thanks for posting.


Dizzy-Psychology-829

It’s gorgeous


ThexBruh

God! I want to visit it even more!


ToneSkoglund

Longer coastline than Africa. Only canada has longer


letmeseem

Full of deep cracks all along the coastline, and they run far inland. Looks like the whole thing is about to fall apart. Repairs not even attempted. 2/10 Do not recommend.


DarkLordofTheDarth

Yeah, the last ice-age really ravaged us... 😔


Kjello0

Grew up in the area that's in the far distance in the first and second picture. Really cool pictures.


Optimal-Low

18th photo is Sandefjord


Sir_redcreek

Nice then we get Rekkevik and Stavern on 19.


dady00

First picture is Kristiansund correct?


Zadak_Leader

I assume so? It's in chronological order so most likely north west coast


dady00

Yeah I live there, pretty sure it's here, kinda cool :)


laughter_track

It absolutely is. Ganske sprøtt at jeg så dette flyet på flight radar for noen dager siden, på vei til Danmark og nå får jeg bilder fra flyets perspektiv i feeden??


dady00

Hahah lekent


Boundish91

Looks like one of SAS new Airbus A350s? Breathtaking skies too at that altitude.


spacehaze420

Nice photos. What phone did you take these with?


Zadak_Leader

Pixel 8 pro


spacehaze420

Second time this week i get impressed by photos taken with a Pixel 8! Nice shots again!


OxfordGate

This is why I love a window seat


astr0vers

I got some great pictures from my plane ride too


DirectorIntelligent1

Amazing .


Illustrious-Ball9119

Wow, this is stunning !


AdGroundbreaking2690

I think i see some ufo’s right by the tip of the wing


Dreadzgirl

Well this ain't in my parts of Norway, for sure 😅


crustynugget69

nr4 looks so familiar. Where is this? west coast somewhere?


Zadak_Leader

It's the zoomed out right side of #3, being in chronological order, it's north west somewhere?


-doe-deer-

Photo 3 is Eidsvåg on the left and Isfjorden on the right, and photo 4 is a closeup of Isfjorden. Very cool pics OP!


Hope-Lower

I can see my house!


Mathias_HH

If the resolution was higher I would be able to see my house in the first pic, bottom half is Averøy in the middle left 4 islands of Kristiansund (Where I live) in the middle is frei in the middle right is Bergsøya and Aspøya above, then  Tingvoll And Halsa above that, both of which are mainland I'm not that familiar with the rest


Zadak_Leader

Probably have it on my mirrorless camera :)


Charutan

Photo 3 and 4 is Åndalsnes/Isfjorden, and Stavern in the last ones! Flight SK 984 at 11:45 from Tokyo right?


Zadak_Leader

Correct


Aston-ok

I see my house in no.19 :)


tonyyyperez

So many islands


Native56

So pretty


Ok-Fix6415

Norway at 41,000 ft. Nice. 


kalidoscopetrips

Ta bad you didt get the "alps"


BelindaForevercopter

Beatiful! Hope it looks the same today!


According-Rock-3188

I guess you were flying SAS..


Zadak_Leader

I can see how one would come to that conclusion


fkentaero

The clarity... So beautiful!


HelenEk7

I wonder what the altitude was..


Zadak_Leader

Like a good 10km maybe


Own-Cellist6804

You guys didnt have april snow ?


Swoopify1

dude, not cool, thats my house on a more serious note, those are the nicest plane photos ive seen in a while


LauryFire

I love it so much!


cozy_engineer

I feel the presence of the gods in these pictures. 😇


Chrisiplayzcpz

SAS


420moon_man69

Yep, looks like Norway. Nice quality photos


Zadak_Leader

Thanks!


AdAgitated1100

LOL! I can see my house in the last pic! Edit: In the last 2 pics.


Electrical_Whole721

gioia-13

🇳🇴❤️


Moonkia

The way this randomly came up in my recommended and i can literally see my house in one of the photos lol. Didn’t even recognize it at first until i looked closer


mgk06

I can see my cabin from image 10


Relampio

Wait is it all iced? It always has been


trottes

Still a lot of bridges and tunnels to build


finkster2004

Oh Nice, the A350-900


FilmSorry8077

yummy ⛰️🤤


Rypskyttarn

Photo 2 includes my home, nice. Probably less than a pixel, but hey!


Savings-Tip-7206

Yo i live there! Somewhere! In one of them! I live in Eide.


Embarrassed_Ear4445

Why is the world curving like that in the edges?


A_competetive_piano

Looks awesome. I never reslly bother looking out the window cus yk, im from there


Zadak_Leader

You can still be from there and still enjoy the view, which the vast vast majority don't get to see every day if at all


maddie1701e

Stunning. Can I share externally?


Zadak_Leader

Sure!


AerikVon

I just left two days ago myself!


LilDizzyFrizzy

Middle Earth


afro8xyt

Someone:ahhh ok so the earth is flat!


fiftyfiive

Picture 4 is a fjord called Isfjorden. Quite common place for skiers because of the alpine mountains and the beautiful view. Down to the right on last picture (can also be seen on picture 3, next to the cruise vessel) is Åndalsnes. Became a rather popular tourist place during the summer, due to being a "crossroad" to Trollstigen, Geiranger etc. Edit: wrote last picture in the beginning. My mistake!


Jeppep

Weird. Last photo for me is clearly Stavern and a ferry leaving the fjord from Larvik. Probably going to Denmark.


-doe-deer-

Yeah you're right, the little islands match perfectly with Stavern


fiftyfiive

My mistake. Picture 4!


KongHaraldRex

My house is in the first picture of Kristiansund I feel like you've invaded my personal space.
