This pictures was taken at 21000 ft above the earth. No pollution here... Atmosphere is so pure.
Thanks for watching ;o)

How this shot was done :
First of all, i have to tell you that this aircraft has no passengers and that the flight is specially dedicated to photography and followed by a dedicated radar operator.
As some of you asked me, i confirm that the authorities strictly forbid to fly close to a passengers aircraft except for the Air Force.
So, this shot was taken from another aircraft. I was in a "Corvette", a small jet. We were 9 on board :
2 pilots, 2 photographers managing a photographic periscope and the tail cone camera, 2 operators for the video periscope and finally 2 photographers at the lateral windows. This day i was only a passenger in order to prepare the inflight shots i did for my airline. You can see them here :

Have a nice day.

Hi Serge,

Nicely captured and well composed and exposed. Crisp, beautiful work.
How you managed a carry on, I don't know. Things are very tight lately after last week's threat in the U.K.

Hi Serge
How did you get this shot?? I didn't think that passenger jets were supposed to pass so close to each other, but maybe in Europe they do?

Hello Serge,
This is a domestic Philippines airline, interesting to see this aircraft over the Pyrenees! Probably right from the paint-shop?
Superb clarity in colours, pleasant details and very well done on the photo job!

Bonsoir.
T'en as de la chance....
Y'aurais pas une p'tite place pour moi la prochaine fois...?
Si, je me ferais tout petit....
Bref, une superbe image...!

This is a wonderful capture Serge,
Now this is proper aviation photography.
The colours are superb. excellent sharpness and detail. This must have been such fun.

TFS. enjoy the rest of the week.

HI Serge,
this is marvelous - what a wonderful plane and the sunlight is excellent. Are you a "spotter" - I heard of people who must make shots of every plane on this planet. They make long trips for making those shots - they would be more than jelous about your shot.
Thanks for sharing, wonderful!

Bonjour Serge ,

Je découvre avec émerveillement votre gallerie . Mes présences sur TL depuis quelques mois sont très limitées. Et comme moi vous je constate que vous avez été absent quelque temps (^_^).

Quel moment privilégié. Et quelle belles couleurs . J'espère que votre photo a été publiée par la ligne aérienne.

Elle est simplement parafite.
Bravo,
Robert
