Likely one of my best catches this year..
We couldn't believe it until he landed on our tiny home airport. I won't explain the reason for what he came but as a spotter, we couldn't get more happier today, especially with the lightning conditions which were really perfect during taxiing!
After the IL-62, 747SP and that one..this year is nearly perfect and it's not over yet!

Der Lufthansa-Airport-Express, kurz LHA, war ein von 1982 bis 1993 durch die Fluggesellschaft Lufthansa und die Deutsche Bundesbahn gemeinsam eingesetzter Zug des Schienenpersonenfernverkehrs. Er diente als Ersatz für Kurzstreckenflüge auf den Verbindungen von Düsseldorf und Stuttgart zum Flughafen Frankfurt Main. Am 17 Juli 1991 konnte ich einen LHA in Köln Hbf fotografieren nachdem der Zug aus Frankfurt (Main) angekommen war.
De Lufthansa Airport Express (LHA) was een trein die tussen 1982 en 1992 voor de Lufthansa tussen Düsseldorf en Frankfurt (Main) en Stuttgart reed. Het doel van de verbinding was het om binnenlandse vluchten van Frankfurt (Main) naar Düsseldorf en Stuttgart te vervangen. Op 17 Juli 1991 was ik op Köln Hbf en kon een LHA treinstel fotograferen welke net naar Düsseldorf vertrok.
The Lufthansa Airport Express was an express train service in Germany, initially linking Düsseldorf and Frankfurt am Main Airport and later Stuttgart too. The trains were operated by Deutsche Bundesbahn on behalf of the German airline Lufthansa, and with the airline providing the on-board customer service staff, and its use was limited to Lufthansa customers taking airplane flights into or out of Frankfurt or Düsseldorf airports. On July 17th 1991, I managed to get a shot of one of these trains in Cologne central station.

This is a salt lake, Lake Pelkhu Tso is 27 km (17 miles) long and 6 km (4 miles) wide at its narrowest point. Surrounded by rugged mountains on three sides that reach altitudes in excess of 5,725 meters (19,000 ft), numerous small streams drain into the lake. Streams fed by glaciers cascade to the valley floor south of Lake Paiku, but only a few streams actually reach the lake. Lake Pelkhu tso has no stream outlet.

Tso Moriri or Lake Moriri Tibetan: ལྷ་མོའི་བླ་མཚོ, Wylie: lha mo bla mtsho) or "Mountain Lake", is a lake in the Ladakhi part of the Changthang Plateau (literally: northern plains) in Jammu and Kashmir in northern India. The official name of the land and water reserve here is the Tso Moriri Wetland Conservation Reserve.
The lake is at an altitude of 4,522 m (14,836 ft). It is the largest of the high altitude lakes entirely within India and entirely within Ladakh in this Trans-Himalayan biogeographic region. It is about 16 miles (26 km) north to south in length and two to three miles (3 to 5 km) wide. The lake has no outlet at present and the water is brackish though not very perceptible to taste.[2]
The lake is fed by springs and snow-melt from neighboring mountains. Most water enters the lake in two major stream systems, one entering the lake from the north, the other from the southwest. Both stream systems include extensive marshes where they enter the lake. It formerly had an outlet to the south, but this has become blocked and the lake has become a endorheic lake. The lake is oligotrophic in nature, and its waters are alkaline.

This shot from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows a maelstrom of glowing gas and dark dust within one of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
This stormy scene shows a stellar nursery known as N159, an HII region over 150 light-years across. N159 contains many hot young stars. These stars are emitting intense ultraviolet light, which causes nearby hydrogen gas to glow, and torrential stellar winds, which are carving out ridges, arcs, and filaments from the surrounding material.
At the heart of this cosmic cloud lies the Papillon Nebula, a butterfly-shaped region of nebulosity. This small, dense object is classified as a High-Excitation Blob, and is thought to be tightly linked to the early stages of massive star formation.
N159 is located over 160,000 light-years away. It resides just south of the Tarantula Nebula (heic1402), another massive star-forming complex within the LMC. This image comes from Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. The region was previously imaged by Hubble’s Wide Field Planetary Camera 2, which also resolved the Papillon Nebula for the first time.

Nyen Chen Tanglha: a mountain god from the central Tibetan area of U-tsang. Aside from the people of the local region Nyen Chen Tanglha is most popular with the Karma Kagyu and the Gelug Traditions of Buddhism.
One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.

"Sacred Mountains"_________________________________________
Sacredpeaks of snow and ice, bare rock and slate or grass-covered ranges are found throughout the Tibetan Plateau. Among them, the most important focal points for Buddhist and Bon pilgrimage are Mount Kailash in Ngari, Mounts Amnye Machen and Nyenpo Yurtse in Golok, Mount Kawa Karpo in Dechen, Mount Zhara Lhatse in Minyak, Mount Dakpa Shelri in Tsari, Mount Bonri in Kongpo, Mount Yarlha Shampo in Yarlung, Mount Nyenchen Tangla near Lake Namtso Chukmo, Mount Lapchi Gang along with other perennial snow massifs in the Himalayan range. During the pilgrimage season, these peaks and their secret grottoes are circumambulated by Tibetans from all parts of the plateau, as well as by devotees from India, Nepal and the West.

Chos sku monastery The monks of ChökuChos sku (4850 m) report that their monastery was founded circa 1250 CE by a disciple of Gyelwa Götsangpa-Rgyal ba rgod tshang pa named Sanggyé Nyenpo-Sangs rgyas gnyan po. The current assembly hall (dükhang’dus khang) and protector chapel (tsenkhangbtsan khang) were rebuilt in the same place as their pre-modern predecessors. This Drugpa Kagyü’brug pa bka’ brgyud monastery is renowned for its talking statue of Chöku PakpaChos sku ’phags pa, which was once a protector of the Buddhist kings of GugéGu ge. This sacred image is said to have been brought from India to the monastery with the aid of the wily god Gang Ri LhatsenGangs ri lha btsan. Extensive monastic ruins are found on the slopes below the ChökuChos sku monastery. At this lower site there were at least one dozen sizable buildings and a number of smaller ones as well. The size of the rooms and characteristic constructional features of the structures demonstrate that most if not all were made with timber roofs. In aggregate, these ruins constitute a much larger monumental presence than that of the contemporary monastery. These lower structures are somewhat susceptible to rockslides originating from the couloir above and this may have had something to do with their abandonment. Cultural luminaries such as Sherap ZangpoShes rab bzang po (the head lama of sag thil monastery in GertséSger rtse) report that a large contingent of monks inhabited these ruins some 800 years ago. The monks of ChökuChos sku say that the 19th century CE lama Padma DegyelPadma bde rgyal reoccupied some of the structures below their monastery with his many followers. Also below Chöku-Chos sku monastery there are a series of caves in the cliffs, the most famous of which is Langchen Puk-Glang chen phug (Elephant Cave). Guru Rinpoché-Gu ru rin po che is supposed to have meditated in this cave. Langchen Puk-Glang chen phug is 6 m in length and has several collateral chambers. Two other caves in the vicinity associated with Guru Rinpoché-Gu ru rin po che are Chöpuk-Chos phug (Buddhism Cave) and Padma Puk-Padma phug (Lotus Cave). Another cave, Khyung Puk-Khyung phug (located below the Guru Drupchu-Gu ru sgrub chu spring), is thought to have a self-formed Khyung-khyung (horned eagle) on the ceiling. རས་ཆེན་ཕུག་དང་གཉན་པོ་རི་རྫོང་། ras chen phug dang gnyan po ri rdzong > Rechen Puk Dang Nyenpori Dzong - Mighty Mountain Fortress/ མྱང་པོ་རི་རྫོང་། myang po ri rdzong - Nyangpori Dzong Read more: places.thlib.org/features/iframe/16648#ixzz1mdDJ7Cyp
