6th January 2004

Luton Airport

Luton airport is only 4 miles away to the north and I can see the aircraft taking off from the study.
Fortunately the runway is east west so we are not bothered by noise.

Nice capture Chris! Reminds me that in San Diego this summer there was some lights we'd stop at that were very close to the end of the runway (well were AT the end of the runway!) for San Diego airport. Often while we waited for the lights to change an airliner would come in to land. Always thought of having the camera ready but never did as looking through windscreen would be the undercarriage of a plane coming in to land! Always seemed quite dramatic though guess you get used to such things? I look forward to more of this type of shot Chris.

Terrific! I've tried to take pictures of landing plans and have not been successful. I love this angle .. the towers add interest and the head on perspective is a winner. Nice.

Nice pic, Chris! Very clear and well composed. :)

Nice shot Dad - I love the fact that I can log on and see what you're up to from day to day!... (Just as long as the boss doesn't know what I'm doing from day to day!) };->

Hey, Chris, you not only have the power to see into the future, but you can also photograph it, too! What's your secret?! ;) ("6th December, 2004?"?!)
A very nice shot, anyway!
