Most modern airplane liveries are boring and I was surprised to see something really colourful like this Cathay Pacific Boeing 777 going to Hong Kong in the local skies recently!

I’ve been taking a couple of shots of Lufthansa’s A340 in the last couple of days, but only this one turned out good enough because it always was too hazy before. This is the biggest plane flying in our direction – the A380 from Emirates Airways probably isn’t allowed to fly over the city that low!

Today is a holiday in Germany and of course the WDL Blimp was flying. It still didn’t come very near, but near enough to take a better shot! I also took some video, but I still have to edit and convert it.

It’s back! That familiar buzz was in the air today and the new WDL Blimp made its first rounds over the city after a winter pause. This is the newly built Blimp that made its debut only in Autumn of last year after its predecessor was destroyed in the big storm of 2014. The Blimp – we often call it incorrectly Zeppelin – is a real icon in our area and everyone really missed it when it was suddenly gone…

This weather is best expressed in black and white.

The weather continues to be extremely lousy, but at least we got one brief rainbow today inbetween.

This is actually from two days ago, today was even worse. Where’s our Spring?

Today’s weather in a nutshell…

Some impressive clouds over the houses in the distance.

No Moon tonight, so here’s a mix of clouds and blue sky from last Sunday!
