14 May 2019, Lahad Datu, Sabah, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
.
These are images from two flights, from Ladah Datu to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah and from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Lumpur. They are all monochrome conversions of infrared images.
When leaving on the plane from Lahad Datu I was instructed by a stewardess that I was not allowed to take photographs out the window during takeoff because the camera is an electronic device. That has never happened to me previously and astonished me as the camera is hardly going to be sending out wifi signals. Consequently, most of these images are of clouds.

Not long before, we took off from Lahad Datu in Eastern Sabah.

We are flying over Sabah.

The clouds could be quite majestic though.

This is near Kota Kinabalu. We have landed and taken off again.

I was able to photograph clouds over the South China Sea for a while until the visibility closed right in.

Now we are over mainland Malaysia.

A small sea-front village.

Workers’ cottages, probably, beside the ubiquitous palm oil plantations.

This was the last post of our trip to Sabah. You can see links to all the other posts in the Sabah Itinerary post.
Next, a return to the last few days in Havana in the Caribbean trip.

Of course I love the clouds (especially the ones at the beginning) but my favorite is the first one of the land and the tiered fields.

Yes, it’s an amazing pattern. It may be that it’s not fields, because it’s not surrounded by agricultural land, but simply cut into the hill when they cut the trees down to prevent erosion, and probably prior to planting date palms.
