Summary edit

Description
English: Every day may phone wakes me up singing: "I just fly/ away/ never looking back/ to yesterday".

Flying from Frankfurt am Main (FRA) to Schiphol Amsterdam (AMS).

Compressed photo gif animation to show better the curvature of the horizon due to sphericity of Earth.

"The horizon appears flat because the curvature is too small when observed from near the Earth’s surface. However, in some cases, we can exaggerate the curve by taking photographs of the horizon and then magnifying the results vertically."
