Off into the Australian Skys, leaving all problems on the ground. Just amazing!

A visitor from France posted Mon January 9, 2006:
IMO a great shot ! This picture shows the beauty of a take off by the angle it has, and the position it is taken from. Really nice, the kind of shot we enjoy looking at for hours.

A visitor from United States posted Mon January 9, 2006:
Very nice angle and you captured all of the 747 which is always nice to see. And the dusk or dawn light just adds to the scene.

A visitor from Canada posted Mon January 9, 2006:
I like the even lighting when this photo was taken, usually like the blue sky background but for this photo, gray is wonderful. Little runway to spare is kind of interesting. All good. hrw
