Clear Blue Skies...and Not a 747 in Sight!!

Poland lies bang on the long-haul international flight path and the skies are usually criss-crossed with white vapour trails. Not for the past few days that is. The skies were erriely quiet as volcanic ash from Iceland continues to wreak havoc to air travel around the world.

Sun & Sky

I was quickly called to the window by my ever-thoughtful wife to take this picture of the dramatic lighting on the tree and the dark grey ash-filled clouds that are currently hanging over Europe.

The volcanic ash from the Icelandic eruption has been causing immense travel chaos around the world...with a knock-on domino effect. My mother was due to fly tomorrow but her airline has cancelled ALL flights till Monday. So she's taking the bus instead!! Longer...but far more scenic!!

You see...we don't like queuing!!

Follow on from yesterday's cultural post, here is photographic proof of the "chaos" that one is greeted with, when they try to board a bus here in Poland!!
