The silhouettes of departing passengers are seen against the strong natural light from the vast windows that face outwards of this aviation hub. Some travellers await their flights sitting down in comfortable seating - one with his hands behind his head - while others pace about Terminal 5 at London's Heathrow Airport. The scene is fairly monochrome without colour other than a grey background on this overcast day. Terminal 5 has the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).
