Still a couple more Sunflower photos to go :-).

This is slightly more blurry that I had hoped, but yesterday this lovely old Piper Super Cub flew almost directly over my head when I was sitting on the balcony. I have seen and photographed this particular plane once before in early March – it apparently belongs to WDL Aviation, the company that also operates the famous blimp, which is being rebuilt for next year after it was destroyed by the heavy storm in June.

Older roses are still worth photographing!

Same cactus flower as in the last photo, and I think it’s really going to be open tomorrow!

The Aubergines were also growing nicely, although slightly wavy :-).

Not quite fresh anymore, but still looking good!

I also took a few panoramas during the demolition to show the huge gap between the houses. This one is from December 29th 2007, more than two weeks after the last photo – you can see that they had worked hard over the Christmas holidays and the last building on the right was already partly torn down. But here the trouble had not even started yet. To be continued…

One of the< em>Schlumbergera cactus flower buds from above – there are a lot of them this time again, but I’m not sure which one will open first. This one seems to be a good candidate, though!

The other Zinnia was still a bit shy.

For the second time this October, our tiny local airport got a visit from one of the few surviving flyable Junkers JU-52. This one belongs to the Lufthansa Berlin Foundation and is the oldest surviving airworthy JU-52 – it was built in 1936 and soon will be 80 years old! One thing I noticed today that the Lufthansa pilots start much lower than those of the Swiss JU-52, so I got a pretty close look!
