I love this picture! | |
Surreal, sci-fi, 5 stars!!! | |
Excelent!!!! | |
Ah, a nice formation shot on top of some overcast on a CAT 3 approach. ;) | |
Excellent photo!!! And exotic situation!!!. Because the date -December 1982- i can say that this colombian aircarrier jumbo jet is transporting Gabriel García Márquez to the Nobel Prizes conquest of that year; and thas why this plane is in Stockholm, Sweden. Avianca, andean and caribbean Colombia´s airline shown in a very cold and blue boreal night: Realismo Mágico (García Márquez´s Magic Realism). | |
It look like the RWY is covered in ice/snow. | |
I Love this Plane and his History | |
Avianca taking to Gabriel Garcia Marquez to Estocolmo to receive the prize nobel | |
Beautiful Avianca | |
VERY NICE WORK GOOD JOB | |
Amazing picture of an Avianca 747, it gives the impression that the pic was altered in some way, because of the funny blue tone from the snow. This pic is a reminder of better times in Colombia, when the country was a great place to live, Avianca had 747's that carried us around the world. | |
Very nice picture... very very nice. | |
Great pic! It reminds me of one of those planes in a commerchial planes in a movie they always have a similar liverie. | |
Avianca is one of my most favourite Airlines, THANK YOU for this shot!! | |
It has a sense of winter mystery. Additionally, it was and still is very rare to see an Avianca airliner in Sweden. | |
I think is the most spectacular shot in airliners, but there is some info you need to know! This Jumbo was that day transporting Gabriel Garc | |
One of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen on Anet. | |
Avianca always will be in our heart | |
The ghost of christmas past! ahahahaha!! very good picture! | |
Ghostly, Brilliant! | |
Simply spectacular, great photo, great aircraft, great scenery. A five star photo, it looks like a painting, not a photo. | |
This picture is so beautiful, it almost looks fake! The beauty of Scandinavian winter and the beauty of the 747 is at its peak in this picture. | |
Spectacular colours. Seems unreal, it's like the plane is on ice, or some water. Looks a little like a psychedelic dream. Wonderfull. | |
The water almost looks like its frozen great shot | |
This is a cool clear and nice shot coming from field of ice and cold weather. | |
Nice | |
Amazing pic the contrast is exellent no words for this masterpiece!!! Avianca one of the best!!!!!!! | |
Just looks so unreal...amazing! | |
No words. 5***** | |
I do not have to think about the rating, 5/5, no doubt! | |
Great picture, particularly the use of light and contrast in colour | |
Bold and beautiful | |
Looks like a pinting to me. Beautiful. I think Avianca should use this as an emblem or at least for marketing | |
This picture is so cool!! | |
One of the greatest photos i've ever seen!!! | |
What I like the most are the colours and the atmosphere ... the long trip is about to start!!! | |
Nice shot of this Avianca Boeing 747-259BM in the winter months. Josh Gluth Ft. Wright, Ky | |
This is just insane !!!! Avianca's liveries always beautiful. | |
Spectacular,that livery is beautiful still today.I saw this airplane in Caracas(Venezuela) in the mid eighties.That plane did the route Bogota-Caracas-Frankfurt. | |
Excellent photo, the water looks quite wierd. five stars. | |
This is an awesome photo!!! It looks like a painting. :D | |

Nice picture | |
The best pict | |
I love the midnight appeal with the aircraft it is sensational and the snow is magnificant aginsts the lights in the aircraft. | |
Great pic from the good old days. I just don't understand how can there be snow on the ground in June. Is that really snow we are looking at or is the plane deparing from Uranus? =) | |
This is the best photo ever. I love that livery, best years of Avianca "La Aerolinea de Colombia". Cheers!!! | |
Just great | |
Just amazing ,, everything placed at the right spot and in the right time , Avianca,747, snow, Sweden, Colombia. | |
Beautiful Picture of the Avianca's ever best aircraft, I just wonder, what was it doing up there in Stockholm??? | |
Great foto man...do you ave any more shots like that? | |
Actually, this aircraft now flies as a freighter with Kalitta Air as N701CK. Magnificent photo anyway. | |
Beautiful photo. i believe this airliner was scrapped at mojave a few years ago. | |
The best | |
What a lovely photo from my favourite airport! | |
Beautiful Colombia! Cheers for that big whale! Proud of the yellow, blue and red! The contrast with the ice is stunning! | |
Lovely midnight departure as usual | |
This artistic photo means a great deal to me. This 747 brought me to the U.S. in 1981, I was 7 years old. I wish Avianca would have kept the 2 beautiful 747s. Thank you for sharing your artistic photo with so many of us who love this airline. Take care BRO. | |
It´s the best photo I have ever seen of Avianca. It´s amazing how the light inside the 747 contrast with the ice on the runway. | |
Best picture ever...Viva Colombia... | |
THERE IS THE BEST PHOTO THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN... | |
I think this is the best livery ever..... | |
The best | |
Superb viva avianca colombia!! | |
Great shot..tht is worth 10 stars....best pic i have so far come across...awesome | |
Cool shot! | |
Just Great, good times with 747´s flying with Avianca | |
Great shot! nice plane and great details of colors and lights | |
So cool! | |
Wow really the right place at the right moment this is on stunning shot | |
The old photo looks nice! | |
As my fellow countrymen, I agree with them. This was the Avianca's gold age. Those people who works for Avianca(including me) has a big hope that our country and our Main airline, will recover their positions all over the world, and grow up soon. "all our hearts are red, as old avianca's scheme". | |
I have nice remembers from the former Avianca and this shot give me again the view from the airline years ago. Really great. Cheers from Madrid | |
I never seeing an Avianca 747 and in this photo the colors justblend in with the snow. | |
Good old shiny times... excellent pic! | |
It was the most nostalgic photo that I´d ever seen | |
In such condition, I think it was very hard to take this photo! Real shame they are not flying anymore to Avianca! | |
Just beautiful!!! | |
It looks great with the contrast between the snow/cabin lights and the planes body itself | |
Looks like a unreal shot...the "queen of the sky" seems take off over an illuminated ground...so nice! | |
Arlanda it´s the best! | |
Like the snow | |
Good shot! sameem khashi! | |
Great night shot, excellent picture | |
Quite Amazing...perfect photo! | |
It's cool!!!!! | |
Nice capture | |
Wow.........wht A picture....brilliant ice and it blends nicely with the color of the plane | |
Wonderful colours!!! | |
Very good | |
Excellent photo... I just remember the old times when Avianca was a huge airline. It was the first airline in America and the second of the World. | |
What a superb photo! The colours are just incredible! | |
Great picture the intese red color of that beauty makes the night shine what a shame avianca does not have that livery and b747s anymore i am proud of avianca the 2nd oldesr airline in the worlr after klm and the first in the americas viva avianca colombia | |
Nice shot of the snow and light on the tail | |
This picture is great! I reckon that the fact of it with all its lights on and also sitting on the ice is absolutely superb! Well done guys, great photo | |
I'm nostalgic, I loved the 747Classics when it was its golden age!!!nice pic! | |
Is excelent photo. Alejandrope92@hotmail.com | |
Very good photo. Excellent!! | |
With this pic the motion is evident and night time departures on a 747 are amazing to watch but even better to be on. The angle and lighting on the tail highlights the excitment this photo brings me. Garth - South Africa. | |
What a beauty, and old avianca's 747 aircraft. that's nostalgic. | |
Seems to be glowing inside ... very magic! | |
This is your captain speaking... Wellcome to the moon, hope you enjoy your stay. | |
Viva Colombia | |
Excellent Classic Jumbo | |
Avianca is one of few South American's airlines that had or have 747's . | |
Very Nostalgic picture.. Like Floating on water or fly somewhere in space. Lovely Picture! | |
Nothing like the whale at night surrounded by snow. | |
Hmmmm, how beautiful shot... Makes me remind the good old days of Avianca when it had several routes to Europe and it operated those 747. | |
The magic of the snow and of the night... and a magnificient machine !!!! | |
This is an excellent photo because of the contrast between the sky and the water. I wonder where this photo was taken? The 747, all lit up, is beautiful. | |
The crispness of the photo and the great lighting. along with the close up and the air of vintage classic | |
Beautiful photograph! It's sad that this aircraft no longer exists. | |
A truly spectacular night photograph. The 747 is beautifully composed | |
Very nostalgic! | |
Yes, this is a great shot but it goes further than that. The photographer must be given a pat on the back for what is one of the best photographs I've ever had the pleasure of viewing on this Site. As a photographer myself, I appreciate the preparation involved. Again, well done!! | |
Gotta love that liberal red. By far this is my favorite livery of all times. Hopefully we'll see a 777 or a 787 some day in an Avianca livery. | |
This is just an absolutely stunning photo, it is just so awesome the way the runway and water blend and its an amazingly detailed shot as well. | |
WOW. Its like a picture out of a dream! | |
I just got home after watching Colombia loose 3-2 to Uruguay but this photo has manage to put a big smile back on my face. Just lovely | |
Lika a scene from a movie! | |
That blue snow makes me think that this plane was in another planet hehehehehe. Awesome effect on the snow. Sadly this classic livery is gone.. the best of all times! | |
This picture is fantastic! The ground looks the lunar surface. | |
That is really one magic moment... | |
The old days when Avianca was the great airline that we all knew, the colors, the effect of the light, this is the best example of the good times of Avianca, I hope I'll be return some day | |
Old school shots always good to see :D Nice one Nilsson! | |
What do I have to say, it's just perfect! A very special photography of the past makes everyone being happy... | |
That's real classic!! just breath-taking.... | |
That picture looks crazy! Very nice! | |
Awesome effect, a different look for a great airplane. | |
Excellent picture.....well done | |
What a classic shot! I loved the scene - a wintry night lit by the moon -the venerable classic 747 in a long-gone livery lumbering toward take-off! | |
