The other side of Midnight
I have heard of The Equator crossing. I have always wanted to do that. For that I would have to take a cruise and it wasn’t going to happen in the near future. While on my flights back and forth from India I should have crossed the International date line. Well this time on my flight back to LAX from Hong Kong I was actually awake when that happened.
The flight simulator showed that we were flying over the dateline. I pulled up the window shades. It was dark outside. Even with the night mode of the camera I wasn’t able to take a decent picture of the airplane wings. But in a couple of minutes a hazy shade was visible at a distance. It soon got brighter and I was able to take a fairly decent picture. As the plane sped on I took another couple or more pictures. Believe it or not , in less than 20 minutes it became as bright as day. I had crossed over to the ‘other side of midnight’!
