Breathtaking cityscapes from the sky! The captain’s exclusive aerial view IG account

By: Olivia

I wonder if any readers share my love for sitting by the window on a plane to admire the stunning sky views? Unfortunately, the small circular windows are just too tiny—you can only see a small portion of the sky. How I wish I could see the entire glittering starry sky like the captain does！

Curious about what the captain’s view looks like? Be sure to follow this Instagram account run by Dutch pilot and photographer Christiaan van Heijst. While flying Boeing 747 jets, he captures the natural landscapes before his eyes, allowing us to feel the awe-inspiring power of nature.

Seeing the captain’s work—has it ever made you think about changing careers? Beyond the sky views, Christiaan also captures many beautiful scenes from the ground, resembling stills from a sci-fi movie.

Majestic glaciers and towering skyscrapers are all beautifully preserved through his lens.

Aside from astronauts, pilots are arguably the humans closest to space—an enviable position indeed！ To see more of his work, follow his Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/jpcvanheijst/
