Night take-off... points of light move on a tiny grid.
Link with 932: City at night.
[I haven't taken a lot of trips by plane but a few of them involved take-offs and landings at night. When the plane flies over the city you can look down and see tiny car headlights as they stream along the network of roads illuminated by streetlights. The effect is most pronounced in the winter when there is snow on the ground everywhere and the light is reflected back into the sky.]
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

Unless you land in Las Vegas
Seen those postcards totally black, and a tiny text:
"(name of the small place) by night."?

i once had a pleasure of enjoying a night flight in the cockpit. memorable experience!
thank you for reminding me of it :)
In another life I did a fair amount of flying. The view coming in on clear nights is always awesome. Another one perfectly captured.
I love flying late at night, or early morning. Nicely done, Vaughn.
