An aerial night photograph depicts a dense urban landscape illuminated by artificial lights, viewed from an aircraft. The right wing of the aircraft occupies the lower and mid-right portions of the frame. A significant section of the wing, likely an engine cowling or fairing, exhibits a prominent reddish-orange illumination. A darker gray segment of the wing in the lower-left features a distinct white, curved arrow marking, consistent with emergency exit pathway indicators. Below the aircraft's wing, a vast expanse of urban development is visible, characterized by thousands of interspersed yellow, white, and orange artificial lights that delineate streets, buildings, and infrastructure. Several areas exhibit brighter concentrations of light, possibly indicating major roads, commercial zones, or airport facilities. The general visibility suggests either clear or partially hazy atmospheric conditions at altitude. The scene represents an aircraft in flight over the southern suburbs of Paris, France. The illuminated urban sprawl specifically includes the area around Paris-Orly Airport, which directly borders the commune of Paray-Vieille-Poste. No individuals are discernible in the image.
