This shot was a gift from the Heron. I was walking along the beach after sunset, and heard a Heron honking behind me - I think he was trying to say, "Hey, you with the camera, get ready, I'm coming in for a landing!". :)
This was shot with a Nikon 85 f1.4 at f1.4 and spot metering. I was very lucking to get so many sharp shots.
Feedback welcome!
It seems to me that since my 365 ended I do more flying and less landing in Flickr. I love this web site, it's been my photographic learning ground. I've got to come up with a way to be more consistent without resorting to another 365...
I'll be making rounds this evening :o)
I couldn't resist and recreate another sunset landing shot.

I used my real digital camera rather than my VGA "hat cam" to record this nice landing by my instructor Ed, arriving in his Citabria. He wasn't happy because he said it was "tailwheel first" - maybe by one inch! This is what I've been practicing over and over the last few weeks with Ed in this airplane, and recently I've been making some good landings and getting more consistent on my patterns and approaches. Watching this, it sure doesn't LOOK that hard. But it's all about doing the right things at the right time!
This is Sterling Airport (3B3) in Massachusetts. For more on my Citabria adventures, check my flying blog, flightschoolretro.blogspot.com/.
Frontier Airlines Airbus A320-251N N307FR "Champ the Bronco" climbs off Runway 4 R at Chicago Midway International and stows the landing gear enroute to Orlando McCoy Jetport as Frontier 1458.
Captured through the scratchy window of Cathay Pacific Airways A340, the activities on the wing and engines were quite amazing during our landing. We were landing at Chek Lap Kok Int'l airport, Hong Kong, after a short 2 hour flight from Bangkok.
Lucerne landing was formed by the outwash of Railroad Creek - the largest stream feeding into Lake Chelan. Not only did the Wolverine fire burn through here in 2015, but the stream has been contaminated by a copper mine far up this valley.
The long-awaited return of the ferry service for the Düsseldorf Rhine Fair has hit a significant setback due to severe low water levels in the Rhine River. After a hiatus lasting since 2019, the ferry was highly anticipated to connect the Old Town (Altstadt) directly to the festival grounds, offering a scenic alternative to crowded buses and streetcars. However, an intense summer dry spell caused the river's gauge to drop dramatically to around 40 centimeters, rendering immediate operations at the fairgrounds impossible.
The primary issue preventing vessels from using the blue landing bridge is the high risk of running aground. Because the water is so shallow, even empty boats attempting to approach the dock risk striking the rocky gravel bed along the shore. Consequently, the planned launch for the opening day of the fair had to be called off because a safe docking and boarding process for passengers could not be guaranteed under these conditions.
To resolve the issue and make the landing bridge usable, operators have deployed an excavator directly into the river. The heavy machinery is actively working next to the structure to dredge a deeper navigational channel through the shallow gravel. By carving out these underwater obstructions, workers hope to create just enough depth for the boats to safely approach and tie up to the floating pontoon.
Because of these emergency dredging efforts and the need for subsequent empty test runs, the ferry service remains delayed. While operators initially hoped to clear the channel for the first weekend of the fair, the local transit authority adjusted expectations, noting that regular passenger service likely will not begin until the following week. Until the channel is successfully cleared, the blue landing bridge remains temporarily idle on the riverbank.
The children's department at the Oak Creek library has a transportation theme. There's a plane coming in for a landing etched into the glass of the windows at the end of the center aisle.
