And then this is where everything became calm

And then the tension of the flight dissipated. Everything calmed down.

I did not expect it. It must have already been night below us.

As we flew, I thought, I didn't expect at that moment to experience that flash of overview effect, as I sometimes do, while riding a bike. But that's another story.

The sun showed a little more, below the blanket of clouds, while the night, below, occupied half the world.
