Schiphol International Airport Amsterdam 26/04/2015 09h51
Most of my holidays by plane starts with a shot of the aircraft I was about to board. Our one week city trip to New York was no exception to that tradition. This almost 25 year old Boeing 767 with tail number N152DL of Delta Airlines was on service as flight DL49 from Amsterdam to New York John F. Kennedy Airport. A flight of 7h40 departing at 11h35 from gate E5 from where this photo is taken.

Wales 26/04/2015 11h42
Flying over Wales with a Boeing 767-300 of Delta Airlines on our flight from Amsterdam (AMS) to New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). A flight of about 7 hours and 40 minutes. And yes, I love window seats in combination with flight tracking on a personal entertaining system.
Flying over Wales, the coastline is visible. Geotags are quasi accurate.

Long Island Expressway | Hwy 495 26/04/2015 15h37
View from a yellowcab from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to midtown Manhattan. This is the intersection of the Expressway 678 "Van Wyck Expy" and the Expressway 495 "Long Island Expy". It's like turning left towards Manhattan at this point when coming from JFK. Traffic was quite busy for a Sunday afternoon.
Interstate 495 (New York)
Interstate 495 (I-495, also known as the LIE or simply the Expressway by locals) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway on Long Island in New York in the United States. The route extends for 71 miles (114 km) from the western portal of the Queens–Midtown Tunnel in the New York City borough of Manhattan to County Route 58 (CR 58) in Riverhead, Suffolk County. I-495 does not intersect its parent route, I-95. However, it does connect to I-95 through I-295, which it meets in Queens. The portion of I-495 in Nassau and Suffolk counties is known as the Long Island Expressway (LIE), a name commonly applied to the entirety of I-495. The section of the route from the Queens-Midtown Tunnel to Queens Boulevard is also named the Queens–Midtown Expressway west of Queens Boulevard, and the Horace Harding Expressway east of Queens Boulevard until the Queens-Nassau county line, though both names are not often used in common parlance and most signage refers only to the Long Island Expressway. The service roads of the expressway from the New York City line to Sills Road are officially designated, but not signed, as New York State Route 906A and New York State Route 906B.
Length: 114.30 km
Existed: 1958 – present

Queens–Midtown Expressway 26/04/2015 15h47
A view through the hatch of our yellow cab on our way from John F. Kennedy Airport to our hotel in midtown Manhattan. At this point of the 495 Expressway the skyline of midtown Manhattan is visible. The new tall and slim builing visible a bit to the right was at that moment a mystery to me but is a new appartment building on Park Avenue still under construction but already the second tallest building of the city of New York behind One World Trade Center.
This shot was taken just before the exit Van Dam, the last exit before the toll tunnel; Queens–Midtown Tunnel (1,955 meters, opened in 1940, 2x2 lanes only, toll)
