- 17th May 2005 - Wings of a Giant

Kind of fancy title for the image. But this is just a small part of the Airbus 380 wing assembly building in Boughton just outside Chester. Went on a tour round this evening. Quite impressive!
Still don't know how they get off the ground.

No photography on-site so this one is over the fence after - don't think it gives too many secrets away :)

Nikon Coolpix 8800
1/339s f/8.0 at 64.5mm iso50 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Neat combination of two different buildings. The lines make this shot.
Guest 18-May-2005 03:08
Very crisp. It would be an interesting b/w shot...

Nice one Ian. I especially like the different sizes of lines on the 2 buildings. And the contrast of white and black on the lines. Does that manke sense??
Guest 17-May-2005 23:11
I like the architectural lines. Must be a huge building.

Nice abstract shot, Ian

Nice catch - great contrast and sharp lines.
Guest 17-May-2005 21:45
I like the minimalism. Like you say not too much given away here.
Susanne17-May-2005 20:49
I love the lines as well and the colors, the white, gray and black and blue. I like the square formation and everything, very nice.

Strong image and wonderfully blue sky.

love the lines and the composition is strong too, nice!

Quite linear, beautiful sky.

Well if those were the wings they wouldn't need to keep secrets, it'd never fly! Nice architectural shot though!
Zak17-May-2005 18:59
you're flying with this shot! ;-)

Nice clean lines on this one Ian and is that a blue sky. Very good architectural shot.
