Description:

Somehow this reminds me a bit of the Bremen Town Musicians... :-)
My deepest respect for the pilot of the Beluga - now that's what I call a precision landing!

Gentlemen, thanks for all your very kind compliments and/or entertaining remarks!

Rick, I still have to laugh about the shot-put athlete :-)) :-))

Csaba, no problem (when I have received a sworn declaration from your wife that you are allowed to view such photos) :-))

Vlad, don't be too demanding, I suppose a Beluga's stopping distance normally is longer!

Roy, what's wrong with a beer and a blonde? In some parts of Germany beer is even referred to as a "kühles Blondes" (which would be a "fresh/cool blonde" translated one to one) ;-)

Phantom, then I propose the least common denominator which is: I was there, the rest maybe o maybe not...

Again a BIG thanks to all of you!

Cheers,
Jens

("you're right, the police boat wasn't there") I don't think the tug and the barge were there as well.
Clearly the barge is coming straight at you(two anchors, one either side)and the tug is definatly coming from the side, so it cant be pushing the barge, plus it wouldn't be allowed to cut across a large ship that close, so everything in front of Estelle is not there

DETAIL that I most like on this much attractively-composed pic is the WHITE WHEEL that can be seen on the barge forward part...

Hi Jens,
I didn't know Maersk was into transporting aircraft.
Perfect timing Jens.
Also good you removed the scantily dressed blonde, first a picture with only remarks about beer and then there would be one with remarks about blondes; it would be to much for this site ......
Cheers,
Roy

Fantastic photo, Jens!

(Btw, I see that Beluga is at the end of Estelle's bridge wing, must have been a late touch down, so maybe the pilot is not such an expert...) :)

Cheers

Great shot of sea and air traffic. Can you pm me the photo of them blondes? :-)

Estelle Maersk - direct from us at Felixstowe to you at HH ;-)
A scantily clad blonde aboard the yacht, in this weather? Must have been a Russian shot-putt athlete...?
lol

Rick, my fault, to the left of Estelle Maersk there also was a yacht with a scantily-clad blonde aboard, but I erased it because I feared this would distract too much from the interesting police boat... :-))

Thanks for the compliment!

Jens, please try harder next time - there are a few blank areas in the frame, can you fill them up with more transport in future? ;-)
Excellent image and a very 'busy' shot.

Max, Marcus - Thank you both for the compliments! As you may imagine at first I was quite annoyed of this clutter in front of Estelle, but when the Beluga came along I tried to make the best of the situation:-)

Denis, you're a spoil-sport, no one would have noticed... But ok, you're right, the police boat wasn't there:-)) :-))

Cheers,
Jens
