A Numeric and Visual Palindrome
A British Airways 747 taking off from Heathrow Airport.
The image is deliberately symmetrical to visually echo the palindromic title "747" (a word that's the same written back to front). This palindrome is also a little bit more unusual (for photographic purposes) as it's a numerical one.
Yes yes yes, like the sad idiot I am, I stood at the end of one of the main runways at Heathrow, just outside of the perimeter fence of the airport, in the cold and the wet, amongst other pimply-face anorak-clad plane spotters, waiting for "the shot". I'm just not sure how I didn't get picked up by the local police for looking suspicious :-) :-(
Incidentally, a link has been suggested between painting symmetical paintings and various forms of madness (Vincent Van Gogh, HR Giger, etc.). Mmmmmmm, where's my straight jacket? ;^)
