Talking Planes & Airport Sunset

Had my mum and stepfather come stay for Christmas and New Year and what an amazing time together it was. I didnt want them to go home! One of the things mum & I wanted to go do was take photos at the airport. Unfortuantely, it didnt quite happen. So, on Friday night my husband & I went to the lookout at the airport and I took these shots.

I dedicate them to my mum.

Hope you enjoy them.

Seem to be having a few "technical difficulties" with regards to the way the images are coming up on screen. Pity. Have removed and re-added to the post, but one is still coming out a bit funny. Oh well, just have to make do.

Thanks guys. There was a 5th image, but for some reason the sunset wanted to load up in purple colours not the rich reds and oranges. So I deleted it. Now reloading it, it appears to load up green.....

Thanks Angela. The Akld traffic isnt that bad - but there are certain times you just dont venture anywhere near a motorway or main road. Just dont venture anywhere near here during the rugby cup thingy next year. Even I dont plan on being on the roads then!! Might have to train to work during that period.... if they run on time..... or work at all..... Gotta love the Auckland public transport system....

( AUCKLAND TRAFFIC) if you know what I mean, cheers Steve, shame about the car show, maybe next year for all of us, remember fishing takes priority over photography Not!.

Michelle ,

Fantastic shots ...especially that sunset ! WOW !

I share your frustration with the uploader . Tried about a dozen times today before it would finally upload correctly . Kept doing something similar to what you were seeing

TFS,
-John
