Heraklion International Airport

Heraklion International Airport serves the city of Heraklion on Crete, in Greece, and is the point at which most arrivals to the island first set foot on it. My photographs are taken from inside the cabin, framed by the curve of an aircraft window. One looks out across a runway and the painted markings of a taxiway, with low hills rising beyond and a scatter of distant buildings along the horizon, all of it under a clear blue sky. The other shows the apron and more runway markings from the same vantage, the same low hills and buildings standing at the far edge of the view, the sky again cloudless above them.
