There are actually no clouds at all in this sunset, but I wouldn’t know where else to file it! :-)

Gallery: Planespotting 2015


With all the nature-related galleries posted, it’s time to bring out one of the fun diversions with Planespotting 2015, which was surprisingly successful last year. It turned out the Powershot SX1’s bigger zoom is ideal for catching the planes that sometimes fly right above us after starting from the nearby Düsseldorf airport. The star of the flock was ANA’s Boeing 777 ‘Dreamliner’, which has only been flying here since last year, but there are also lots of other interesting planes plus some balloons and, of course, our famous local blimp, which was completely rebuilt after it had been destroyed by the huge storm of 2014. Click on the preview photo above or the link below to go to the gallery, but you can also find a G+ version over on my Google+ Profile or the Transport Collection.
