Travelling alone, at the airport


I have never lost my thrill of travelling, and it all starts at the airport.

I guess for the Victorians it would have been the railway.  That mix of noise, bustle and promise of faraway places.  Of course there can also be the delays, cancelled flights and crowds.

Still whether it’s the station or the airport there is the excitement of watching the trains and planes.

And so to the picture.  I have no idea where we were flying to or what year it was except that it was morning on air side and some had already taken to the beer.  For some I guess it is about settling the nerves and for others just because you can.
