In July I visited Great Britain and when flying back home, I started
tweaking around on the airplane. So this is something I'll continue
tweaking when flying back home from pretty much anywhere, Ie. tired,
exhausted and nothing else to do, while I simply don't easily catch any
sleep at airplane.

So, this is from July.

Nice one. Seems to be a variation on the "infinity box" concept (cf 
p.b.i. anno 2005).

Yes, there certainly is something same. And I have to mention that I
love the internet services that remember years backwards, like
news.povray.org's binary groups - just entering "infinity box" on the
search bar of my news reader I got the mentioned image :)

On September I was on a work trip at Germany. When flying back home I
smoothed the edges, so this is from September 2013. More should come
when I'll fly again, not before.

Better and better. I like this concept of flight poving. Waiting 
impatiently for your next flight.

There will come a time when most of your flight time will be taken up by 
render time ;-)

Heh, I don't :p. Nothing against flying itself, but all the hassle
around it and the airline's customer fuck up'ing is a pain in the ass.
And most of the airplanes used on short (in-european) flights are
horrous. A new Airbus A321 costs 107,3 million dollars and still it's
creaking and sqeaking all the time from somewhere and the seats are
probably desinged by Volkswagens economy-team.

That is certainly true, although I might get a faster laptop at some
point (and 3.7 or newer POV). It leads to the need to also ease up the
scene so I'll still be able to enchance the scene and trace the image in
the air.

We should have listened to our ancestors: man is not made for flying ;-)

Yep, and a good thing too. As said, looking forward to that.

Wow, I thought it was pretty non-memorable. In fact I was shocked that 
it was almost 10 years ago - time flies :-)

If you had asked me point blank, I would not have remembered it, but the 
combination image and altitude triggered the neurons ;-)
