A foggy morning and golden sunlight transform the blimp into a thing of beauty. An old Instamatic photo, hence the square dimensions.
On the corners of boulevards I call your name
Now and again they play our tune
In the grip of a tiny hand over a flame
Pale as the phases of the moon ...
In the cafes and shopping malls I see your face
turn into mist on evening dew
but a book and a photograph just aren't the same
there is a train that's leaving soon
...Budapest by Blimp
Over pillars and palaces I'll hold your hand
Until the fog is lifted
Maybe better you hold me close than understand
How far away I've drifted
In the face of a tragedy too bleak to know
The death of some grand illusion
All the treasure we pilloried, splendour we stole ...
They never told you that in school
Konnyebb volna tan feledni (Perhaps it would be easier to forget)
Mint tavozasom erteni (Than to understand my departure)
Multobol egy kiszak itott lap (A torn page from the past)
E kodbol indul egy vonat (A train is leaving from this fog)
...Budapest by Blimp
...Que je voudrais vous presenter, messieurs et dames
Regardez bien, je vous en prie
Here's a map and a diagram, a shrivelled page
Ripped from the book of history
See the priceless antiquity frozen in time
Built on the ashes of the Jews
And for your curiosity, beauty sublime
Signed in the blood of Zulus
Not really a goosestep, more of a limp
...Budapest by Blimp

The Goodyear Blimp came flying by our home and I had only a minute to grab my camera after I heard it, run out my door, and compose the best shot I could as it flew away.

The NYPD deployed an actual blimp -- apparently sponsored by Fujifilm -- to keep tabs on the protests that took place during the Republican National Convention.

I must have sat on the side of the Rhien River in Cologne, Germany, for ages waiting for the blimp to be just in between the spires of the Kolner Dom (Cologne Cathedral).
In my opinion, it was well worth the wait.

Ya gotta view at original size to get a decent glimpse of the bird.

The iconic Goodyear Blimp soars over Orange Road in northern St. Joseph County, Indiana (immediately south of the Indiana-Michigan state line). Wingfoot One (N1A), one of three blimps currently operated by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, was in the South Bend area celebrating the success of tire testing at Tire Rack, which has been an official partner of Goodyear for almost 20 years.
