Miami International Airport (MIA / KMIA), March 2010.
Centurion Cargo, McDonnell Douglas MD-11F, N985AR.
It’s “Cargo Three-Holers at Miami” week. Like the last two, this one was taken from the Eldorado Furniture spot, so the aircraft is on short final for runway 09.

Near Manchester Ringway International Airport (MAN / EGCC). July 2010.
Taken out of Singapore Airlines, Boeing 777-312/ER, 9V-SWJ.
Leaving Manchester towards Munich. It was a fantastic weekend, hope to be back there soon!
Munich Airport Franz Josef Strauss (MUC / EDDM). July 2010.
Thanks a lot to the friendly folks of the Munich Airport Fire Department, for the interesting tour and the awesome demonstration of their Ziegler fire truck.
Manchester Ringway International Airport (MAN / EGCC). July 2010.
AirBlue, Airbus A321-231, AP-BJB.
Sadly, this aircraft crashed near Islamabad in Pakistan on 28 July 2010, with 152 people on board. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.

Taking off towards Leipzig, after a fuel stop in MAN.
My editing backlog is growing and growing – I still haven’t edited a fragment of my Florida shots from March. Somehow, I feel more like travelling these days, and not like editing shots. But I will see to post some more soon.
Miami International Airport (MIA / KMIA), March 2010.
Iberia, Airbus A340-313, EC-KOU.
Approaching runway 30 in the early evening, shortly before sunset. More pictures from my Florida trip in March will follow soon.
Hamburg, Germany. May 2010.
Cunard Line – “Queen Mary 2″
IMO No. 9241061
Years ago, Hamburg has “adopted” the QM2, when a million people came to greet her upon her first arrival here. Ever since, Cunard sends her for regular visits, and of course she is the guest of honor at the Hamburg Port Anniversary (Hafengeburtstag) every year.
Opa-Locka, Florida / USA (OPF / KOPF). 23 March 2010.
Douglas DC-3A, N12BA.
Always aim for the sky!
Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel (HAM / EDDH). 09 April 2010.
Antonov Design Bureau, Antonov An-225 Mriya, UR-82060.
A spotter’s dream come true – caught the Mriya. Granted, a bit of sunshine would have been nice – like 5 minutes before, and 1 minute after the landing.
Anyway, just seeing this awesome aircraft was a fantastic experience – goosebumps all over. And maybe I’ll catch her in the sunlight when she’ll leave Hamburg tomorrow.
More updates to follow soon – I have tons of new photos, from sunny and snowy days in Hamburg, and sunny and warm days in Miami. Stay tuned!
Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel, Germany. February 2010.
AeroVis Airlines, Antonov An-12BP, UR-CEZ.
First sunshine in weeks, came out just in time for the arrival of this beauty. The reflections from the still snow-covered ground made the light perfect.
Sandlake Dunes, Oregon / USA. September 1995.
We reached Sandlake Dunes in foggy weather. Strolling through the sand towards the Pacific Ocean, all we heard was the everlasting swell of the surf. I tried to capture the atmosphere before my friends vanished in the fog.
Pacific Coast, Oregon / USA. September 1995.
Third and last picture of the Pacific Coast series. Next stop on our journey will be foggy Sandlake Dunes.
Pacific Coast, Oregon / USA. September 1995.
Another reworked picture of the beautiful Oregon Pacific Coast. But as with the first one, I cannot name the exact location where it was taken.
Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel, Germany. January 2010.
Iran Air, Boeing 747SP-86, EP-IAD.
Spotting at -12°C. It was freezing cold, but it was definitely worth it. EP-IAD seen here on short final, photos taken from Nordport-Bogen.
Pacific Coast, Oregon / USA. September 1995.
This one, I uploaded earlier already, but reworked it since. Still no idea where exactly this picture was taken. Any helpful hint would be welcome.
Portland, Oregon / USA. September 1995.
Park at the Rose Garden.
Next stop on our journey was Portland, with its beautiful Rose Garden. Something tells me that Claude Monet would have liked this scene…
Seattle, Washington / USA. September 1995.
View from the Space Needle.
Evening view on Downtown Seattle. Above the old Kingdome, former home of the Seattle Mariners baseball team, you can see a faint image of Mount Rainier.
Seattle, Washington / USA. September 1995.
Space Needle Silhouette.
Our trip started in Seattle, which we reached via Chicago. Of course, we had to visit Seattle’s landmark, the Space Needle.
Dear Friends and followers of my humble website,
I wish you a Happy New Year, and hope that it will bring you health, luck and prosperity! Thanks a lot that you still follow my site!
Unfortunately, as you can see from the lack of recent uploads, I did not have too much time to take photos over the past months. The lack of light during fall and winter did not help, either.
But 2010 looks better, as there are several trips coming up, which should be good for new photo material. In the meantime, I took the time over the holidays to review and re-edit shots from earlier journeys.
I started back in 1995, when I traveled the US West Coast along with 3 friends. It was my first serious attempt at photography, with a borrowed Leica CL. I had uploaded a few shots from that trip earlier already, but I did complete re-edits that I will upload during January.
Hope you will enjoy them!
All the best
Stefan
Berlin, Germany. October 2009.
Night view of the Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom), with the television tower at the Alexanderplatz in the background.
Despite of commonly being referred to as Cathedral (or ‘Dom’ in German), it is actually a Protestant church, that has never been the seat of a Catholic bishop. It was built between 1894 and 1905 after plans of Julius Raschdorff.
Potsdam, Park Sanssouci, Germany. November 2009.
Beautiful evening light at the New Palace (Neues Palais) in Sanssouci Royal Park. Completed in 1769, it is the last great Prussian baroque palace.
