MJ KLEIN: Taiwan From The Air, Revisited

TAIWAN FROM THE AIR, REVISITED

Photos by MJ Klein

By now, everyone knows that we have a new camera – the Nikon D7000.  What most people do not know is that I just returned from a week long business trip to Thailand.  It was dark when we flew into Taiwan, but I was able to get some photos out the window.  So, here they are, thanks to the engineers at Nikon and their wonderful creation, the D7000:

Kaohsiung

This was my first view of Kaohsiung as we approached Taiwan from the South-East.

Tainan

This is Tainan, which is just a beautiful on the ground, if you ask me.

Chaiyi

Chaiyi.  The next three shots were taken as we traveled north past Chaiyi:

I really like how the D7000 captured the clouds and the mountains behind them.  Clicking on any photo will take you to it’s Flickr page where you can use the “Actions” pulldown to view larger sizes.

The above four shots are approaching Chuanghua, another nice area of Taiwan.  Next we’ll be passing Changhua and approaching Taichung:

The large city on the left is Taichung.  Here are more of Taichung:

Unfortunately as you can see, we flew into cloud cover, and I was only able to get a few more shots.

A little lower altitude, these are of Taoyuan, somewhere.

We hope you enjoyed these photos of Taiwan from the air! … Thank you for reading!

About

Letters from Taiwan is an online diary of what engages and interests me about Taiwan as well as a record of my journeys and discoveries in the region. It is an extended letter of admiration and gratitude to this beautiful country that has so hospitably been my home for over a decade.

Originally from the UK, I arrived in 2000 as a teacher and now work full time as a professional in the field of medical devices.

This blog does take an active, passionate and often partisan interest in Taiwan's current affairs, with particular emphasis on its history, politics and economy. I believe that Taiwan is geographically and politically situated at an important juncture of global hegemonic struggle.

The very identity of the nation and the peoples living here, and the ongoing contest over the definition and meaning of those identities is a field study in contemporary nationalism and nation building. It is because this contest is far from resolved that I find the word 'contingent' the most suitable current descriptor.
