 A visitor from - posted Sun December 23, 2012:One of my all time favourite shot at Anet... But I guess the captain had some explaining to do after this landing. The touchdown was way before the runway threshold. | |
| A visitor from - posted Wed August 17, 2011: I think the pilot has it backwards...you land between the piano keys....not the chevrons lol. Awesome pic! | |
 A visitor from Namibia posted Wed June 22, 2011:This is the lowest approach i have seen in 4 years. Thumbs up to the cameraman and the pilot | |
 A visitor from Singapore posted Wed June 22, 2011:THE place to go and THE thing to see before you die (: | |
| A visitor from - posted Wed June 22, 2011: Beautiful bird still makes her presence known, hence the cowering fence huggers :) | |
 A visitor from Belgium posted Mon June 13, 2011:Time to review the meaning of the yellow chevrons. | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu May 26, 2011: How did this bird manage to pass above the fence at speed of about 160 and seem to touch down on the chevrons? XXX | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu May 26, 2011: 'Dare Devils' behind the fence! - What would it take then to scare those punks away? Cool Foto though!!! doubleC MW | |
| A visitor from - posted Wed May 25, 2011: Reminds me of the movie Pushing Tin... wonder if those guys got thrown by the jetwash | |
 A visitor from Mexico posted Wed April 13, 2011:Would be nice to mark the touching point, and to see who gets closer. At what speed is the plane passing? | |
| A visitor from - posted Sat October 2, 2010: Very brave people at the fence. | |
 A visitor from Germany posted Mon September 6, 2010:Thats just incredible! Imagine the sound if you were there ducking at the fence.... it kind of blows your head away... | |
 A visitor from Croatia posted Sat July 24, 2010:The tail almost hit the fence :) | |
 A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun July 18, 2010:Catches the plane very well | |
| A visitor from - posted Mon April 5, 2010: THIS photo should be the number 1 photo on A.net. | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu February 4, 2010: Woooooooooooooow!!.. Just AWESOME!!!!.... | |
 A visitor from Russian Federation posted Tue January 5, 2010:Superb. Period. The pilots too. The photographer must be awarded for making such attracting photo for tourists, therefore, income for the island. Don't forget about the pilots, too! I need to go there! | |
 A visitor from United States posted Thu December 31, 2009:So sad, KLM has changed the aircraft coming here to an A330. | |
 A visitor from Brazil posted Thu December 31, 2009:Incredible photo, I wish I were near the fence ! | |
| A visitor from - posted Sun October 11, 2009: 747-400, god of technology!!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Tue September 22, 2009: Great timing and composition | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun August 2, 2009: It never ceases to amaze me that Boeing 747-400's can touchdown in very cramped spaces as such runway 09. And even more amazing are the extremely low passes these behemoths make over Maho Beach. I have to visit this beach someday before I die...it's a great place for plane-watching | |
| A visitor from - posted Tue April 7, 2009: Amazing approach! But really, that KLM pilot almost hit the fence and it seems he touched over the runway Chevrons (those yellow arrows). For those who know, the chevrons are a part of the runway used on emergency conditions, and it's pavement is kind of "soft", what makes the gear of the airplane sink in the pavement. This helps when the airplane aborts a take-off and needs to stop faster. Anyway, an AMAZING shot! WOOOP, WOOOP - Terrain, Terrain - PULL UP! Hahahaha! | |
 A visitor from Netherlands Antilles posted Fri March 20, 2009:I was just at Maho for the first time today. This photo pretty much sums it up! | |
 A visitor from Korea, Republic Of posted Sat January 17, 2009:Very good job! | |
 A visitor from Switzerland posted Sun January 4, 2009:Woooow. i am surprised nobody grabbed the gear, lol. :-). No I mean really nice position. Very nice picture. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat December 27, 2008: Amazing.. i would love to got there | |
| A visitor from Mexico posted Sat September 13, 2008: Wow, this photo is incredible!! I'd bet the fence guys felt this wasn't fun for a couple of seconds....congrats !! | |
 A visitor from Colombia posted Wed September 3, 2008:Amazing Photo | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun August 3, 2008: Wow, Nice Shot!, You Can See A Man Croched Behind The Fence, I Bet He Got Abit Of A Shock!, Close Call For The Pilot! If Anyone Has Tried Landing A Plane They Will Know Its Hard. But, Any Landing You Can Walk Away From Is A Good Landing, And The Passengers Wont Have A Clue Whats Going On, Unless Your Into Aviation! :D But Great Shot 5/5* | |
| A visitor from Mexico posted Wed July 2, 2008: Holy cow! Acording to the Aeronautical Manual those yellow stripes mean than that part of the runway shouldn't be used at any time, but MY GOD that pilot has guts, and the picture is amazing. Congratulations!!!!! | |
| A visitor from Brazil posted Wed June 18, 2008: Very nice picture ! I would like to be at the fence !!! | |
 A visitor from Australia posted Sun June 15, 2008:Hah... bet it was a double-dare | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri June 6, 2008: You caght the right moment. I have seen your work and I vow to it!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri May 16, 2008: OK he definitely won the lowest approach of the year award by a heavy. Too bad for the passengers , they had no idea how their final looked from the outside! | |
 A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun April 6, 2008:Purely amazing!!! | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun March 30, 2008: Great picture! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun March 16, 2008: If that was a PanAm plane it would be named Clipper of the Fence. (It barely missed it.) | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon March 3, 2008: This is really one of my favourite photo's on A.net. Especially if you know that this landing is prohibited: I know from internal sources at KLM that these pilots had to explain theirselfs at their manager after this landing got public. | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Sun December 16, 2007: What a landing shot.I love this place hope to go there soon.Its a 5 star shot | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat December 8, 2007: Seen loads of photos and video's of this place and they are all bonkers! Must go there one day! | |
 A visitor from Malaysia posted Tue November 27, 2007:Landing planes are challenging. Landing big planes at Princess Juliana makes it even more challenging; and there is nothing better than seeing the crew of this KLM B744 doing it so perfectly. | |
 A visitor from Honduras posted Wed November 21, 2007:Great shot, the 3 men in boarder are sheet in ground!! it´s a big mounster | |
 A visitor from South Africa posted Wed August 22, 2007:Ja wel, That is the flying dutchmen for you, damn good flying but they are used to it, these pilots. Keep it safe guys and keep it going I will be flying with you again | |
| A visitor from Mexico posted Thu August 16, 2007: All the pilots that land at this airport in this type of airplane are the best. This runway is too short for making soft landings... very nice picture thank you!! | |
| A visitor from Mexico posted Tue August 14, 2007: Congratulations, pick is marbelius | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun July 29, 2007: Just...! Fantastic shot and well captured. No piano keys in sight! | |
| A visitor from Brazil posted Wed May 23, 2007: I can hear the GPWS yelling "terrain, terrain", "pull up, pull up"! If you look closely will be able to see some costumer's hat! Thumbs up! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed April 4, 2007: What a great shot! Absolutely amazing!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed April 4, 2007: Absolutely amazing. What a great catch! | |
 A visitor from Spain posted Wed March 7, 2007:Nice | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Fri February 23, 2007: Very nice Photo.... | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun January 7, 2007: Awesome shot | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat December 30, 2006: What a crasy Landing, Nice shot and i wish i could be there...... | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu December 28, 2006: Looking at these pictures makes me go this place! | |
 A visitor from Italy posted Sat December 23, 2006:Jesus,this guy was too low!..But the picture is really something!! My congraz! | |
| A visitor from Brazil posted Fri December 8, 2006: Nice one...great job!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri December 1, 2006: That is close, we dont even see the piano keys yet,probably just cleared the fence by a couple meters or less, nice shot thanks for sharing. | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed November 29, 2006: Mamma Mia! How much is it to go there?? I will!!!!! To see this bird land is just thrilling!!!!!! | |
 A visitor from Canada posted Sat November 18, 2006:Amazing photo. I wish I was the guy croutching down at the fence getting the jet blast! | |
 A visitor from Uruguay posted Thu October 19, 2006:Wow thats nice!!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat October 14, 2006: Thanks for the awesome pic. Perfect shot. I sure want to go there someday. | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Tue October 10, 2006: Really nice | |
 A visitor from New Zealand posted Sun October 8, 2006:Nice picture | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat October 7, 2006: Great Picture. I have a house in St.Maarten. It is really an amazing sight to see!! | |
 A visitor from Bolivia posted Sat August 19, 2006:Such a beauty!! WOW!!!! thanks for sharing!!! | |
 A visitor from Austria posted Fri August 18, 2006:Great action! B. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Tue August 8, 2006: Good clarity, outstanding photo. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon August 7, 2006: No where else in the world could you get skid marks on your head! :-) | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun August 6, 2006: It made you have to duck. I lived by O'Hare and never had to do that. | |
| A visitor from Australia posted Sat August 5, 2006: Wow, what a great shot | |
| A visitor from Australia posted Fri August 4, 2006: Whhhoooo weeee rock 'n roll love to have been there Greetings all from Melbourne, Australia | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri July 28, 2006: Just an amazing shot,what a beautiful picture of everything. | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Fri July 28, 2006: Absolutly 5 stars. wonderful shot! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri July 28, 2006: Excellent shot- how did it even make it over the fence!!!!???? | |
| A visitor from Mexico posted Wed July 26, 2006: Great pic!! =) | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 26, 2006: There's a "moment" to remember forever - great shot, great timing! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed July 26, 2006: Am I right in thinking this airport has no automatic landing system? i have seen no other airport with an approach like this only other approach thats just as exciting i can think of is Gibraltar lovely photo. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 26, 2006: Aircraft: good drama on short landing; human: "fence-huggers" had obvious thrill/scare; photo: sharp, well-composed, and depth-of-field adds to shot -- all work together: bravo! | |
| A visitor from Canada posted Tue July 25, 2006: Wow | |
| A visitor from United States posted Tue July 25, 2006: I can't believe somebody got this shot! This was the day i arrived in SXM few hours earlier and that is me running away at the fence. I was standing there waiting to get a good picture with 2 other guys. As the plane was just over the beach i saw it coming too low so i took off running and as you can see i'm almost about ready to jump over the guard rail. Never got the pic. | |
 A visitor from Greece posted Mon July 24, 2006:Now now..... most airports have the luxury of longer runways, so landing beyond thresholds is not an option. However SXM has not that luxury and i'm quite sure the asphalt where that plane touches down is not of inferior quality to the rest of the runway. After all, being able to accomodate such large birds is good for tourism and the cost of the extra asphalt is nothing to it. Probably the guys who built SXM know better than us, don't you think? | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun July 23, 2006: Those yellow chevrons incidate an underrun. This area is never to be used for taxi, takeoff, or landing. If there were arrows pointing to the threshold (piano keys) it would be usable for takeoff only. Pilots MUST land beyond the piano keys, always. Bad decision on their part - likely damage to the asphalt, but great photo!!! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun July 23, 2006: I think it is a stuning picture of the 747 | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun July 23, 2006: WOW!!! What an amazing shot! I'd been there in Maho Beach & can't imaging such a low approach. | |
| A visitor from Switzerland posted Sun July 23, 2006: What an amazing picture ! Great ! | |
| A visitor from New Zealand posted Sun July 23, 2006: This has got to be the world's BEST place for spotting and Chris has captured an amazing pic of this KLM which must have passed over the fence by a whisker! Great shot indeed. I LOVE these SXM pics. Keep them coming!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun July 23, 2006: Wow-not a good decision on this pilots part | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun July 23, 2006: I bet the guy crouching behind the fence is saying "Anyone know where my hat went??" Great shot Chris. Must have been great to watch in person. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun July 23, 2006: Wow! Many of us have seen pictures taken at this airfield, but I've never seen one quite like this. I cannot imagine how those railbirds were feeling, or what the jet blast must have been like. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun July 23, 2006: In the right place at the right time! Great angle, and crisp image! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun July 23, 2006: I've never seen a shot like this. You caught it not only mere feet from the runway, but this pilot could not have landed any shorter. Nice job. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat July 22, 2006: Terrific. This picture could spell "violation" for the pilots, however. It is clear they are touching down in the underun which is not stressed for landing or takeoff. I'd like to see if the pavement is damaged, which it most certainly is. | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Sat July 22, 2006: Nice shot! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat July 22, 2006: No professional pilot aims to land on the piano keys let alone before them. The aiming point is your target nearly every time or just before. I appreciate that SXM is fairly short for heavies but this was not a safe landing. As a professional pilot my captain would roast me for doing this! Do they have PAPI's or VASI's at SXM? My guess is not! She is barely over the fence and she's already flaring! Absolutely incredible!! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat July 22, 2006: The other photo of this landing states this 747 did land before the piano keys - hence the displaced threshold! Great photo nonetheless! | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Sat July 22, 2006: Click on the registration PH-BFG to see this scene from another viewing angle! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat July 22, 2006: An amazing shot probably the best ever at SXM! There is another photo of this landing from a different angle and it appears this KLM 747 did land on the undershoot/displaced threshold. There is no way the pilots planned to land that shot. One of my favorites of all time! | |
| A visitor from Croatia posted Sat July 22, 2006: Crazy Dutch!Great photo!i wonder what's the feeling when you have a 747 few meters above your head! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat July 22, 2006: A few months ago I had no knowledge of Airliners.net. Since becoming aware of the website, I have come to the conclusion, based on pictures such as this, that I must travel to St. Maarten and experience this airport first hand. Thanks for the terrific photo! I can't wait to take a few myself! | |
| A visitor from Mexico posted Sat July 22, 2006: Watch Out! 747-400 is coming!!! Excellent Pic! | |
| A visitor from Australia posted Sat July 22, 2006: As a pilot, we are trained from the begining to touch-down on or beyond the piano keys....not scare the crap out of the surfers in the combie van on the boundary road. | |
 A visitor from Argentina posted Sat July 22, 2006:Excelent! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat July 22, 2006: Must be warm sitting behind all that jet blast. | |
 A visitor from Venezuela posted Sat July 22, 2006:GREAT PICTURE!! but hey! watch out! some 100 meters short and it would have changed from a good picture to a terrible accident! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat July 22, 2006: It must be a short runway | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Sat July 22, 2006: I was in St. Maarten in 2003 and believe me... it f*cking hurts when you sit on the beach and a Jumbo lands right behind you. It's like a sandstorm! | |
 A visitor from Turkey posted Fri July 21, 2006:Dreams hang in the air certainly breath-taking | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri July 21, 2006: An amazing shot! There is another photo on here of this same landing shot from a different angle which clearly shows this KLM 747-400 landing at the end of the undershoot/displaced threshold! | |
 A visitor from Jamaica posted Fri July 21, 2006:That must be a very thrilling experience for those fence huggers. I wonder what the view is like from down there. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu July 20, 2006: GREAT SHOT! I'd love to see that place sometime... | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu July 20, 2006: That poor bastard crouched down behind the fence must have thought his world was about to end!! Gvien that the base of the tail appears to be about 10-15 feet above the fence as it passes, can anyone venture a guess as to how much the main gear missed the fence by? | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu July 20, 2006: I just wish i was there man. | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu July 20, 2006: Superb shot! The pilots did a great job scaring the people at the fence. Cheers guys!. To see the sandstorm on the beach, take a look at this one! | |
 A visitor from Hong Kong posted Thu July 20, 2006:Imagine you werer on the beach at that moment.... | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu July 20, 2006: There is another photo of this landing from a different angle. It appears this 747-400 did touchdown at the end of the displaced threshold! Amazing photo!! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu July 20, 2006: Brilliant! | |
| A visitor from Brazil posted Thu July 20, 2006: It must have been a great moment for those guys at the fence.. i wish i was there :P | |
| A visitor from Brazil posted Thu July 20, 2006: Terrific shot! This is what I call by low pass! Awesome job Chris, with a lot of luck, huh? Regards Letnar | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Thu July 20, 2006: Dear guys at the fence!!! When you read this PLEASE write down how it feels, when you nearly get crushed by a 747.... | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu July 20, 2006: Great pic | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu July 20, 2006: Either the captain or f/o landing her had to have been ex-Navy fighter jocks thinking they were landing on a carrier! (lol) | |
 A visitor from Finland posted Thu July 20, 2006:Can´t be much earlyer! Have to see this place, even ones on my life. I think, I may love Princess Juliana. (from EFHF/DO) | |
| A visitor from Australia posted Thu July 20, 2006: Fantastic Shot, I Love It | |
| A visitor from Hong Kong posted Thu July 20, 2006: Holy crap man dude this picture is amazing, this is my first time seeing plane landing so early out. | |
 A visitor from Sweden posted Thu July 20, 2006:I must say that I had had enough of pictures from St. Maarten until I saw this one. This is definitely the best picture ever taken so far at this location (very clear, at the right time and very dramatic) Well, the best picture until somebody posts a picture of the same situation but taken from the beach (that would be one hell of a photo!!) | |
| A visitor from Mexico posted Thu July 20, 2006: Extremely real low!! T.B. | |
| A visitor from New Zealand posted Thu July 20, 2006: Great shot man, i dont think i have seen a better photo at SXM. Looks like the boys had some fun showing off, hope no one was hurt (people by fence). | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu July 20, 2006: Thank you for the photo! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed July 19, 2006: OW DAMN! I really admire those fencehuggers right there. To think that an airplane like that always floats "a bit" before touch-down, it must have seemed like the airplane was gonna hit the dirt rather then even making in over the fence. Then again you might only notice that it was lower then usual in a too short of a time to run... | |
 A visitor from Peru posted Wed July 19, 2006:Ok, for all I know, the aircraft touched down within the tdz. It's a great photo, but it doesn't actually tell any information about the descent rate of the aircraft (not that it should)... he still came in too low, because there's no way a 3 degree path will take you that low! | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed July 19, 2006: A unique photo. Landing almost in a backyard | |
 A visitor from Portugal posted Wed July 19, 2006:Amazing photo, that is LOW. | |
| A visitor from Sweden posted Wed July 19, 2006: Hmmm, a threshold landing. I hope some one takes a photo when the landing gears rips the fense down.... | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: An excellent landing at the earliest possible spot on the runway and a great livery/aircraft combo in front of a beautiful color background. Also, I do love the fence huggers diving for cover. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: There are a lot of shots of planes landing on this beach airport, this angle really shows how close you have to bring it in. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed July 19, 2006: Just amazing, great capture really thrilling. | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed July 19, 2006: WOW that`s extreme | |
| A visitor from Venezuela posted Wed July 19, 2006: What a low approach, just great | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Holy cow!!That'll teach those fence huggers a thing or two!Most thrilling for all including the paxs.Remarkable shot.Congrat's Chris. | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Wed July 19, 2006: Just one Word, AMAZING dude | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Wow thats low! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Wow, that's an amazing shot! I love SXM heavy shots, but this one tops them all! Look at the spectators along the fence...that's insane. Is it just the angle, or did they really touch down on the blast pad/displaced threshold? | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Nice shot Chris its at flareheight 5 stars | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Wow! That is close! Those people at the fence probably got quite a blast of jet wash. Passerengers looking out the windows must have wondered whether they were going to touch down on the runway or not! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: This has to be one of the most amazing pictures ever. | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed July 19, 2006: WOW now thats extreme!!! wish i were there! Great shot. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Good photo - love the way all those people are crouching and holding on to the fence for their lives. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed July 19, 2006: Kool landing | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Just an amazing shot no words about it | |
 A visitor from Norway posted Wed July 19, 2006:This is an amazing photo. Can you please post photos of this event taken a few moments earlier? | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Those fense huggers are sure in for it. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Just a fantastic photo. Love the people ducking at the fence line! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Even for SXM that approach seems rather low... | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: That's awesome! How much closer could it get. Seems like there's very little room for error. The guys on the beach must have got a real rush before having to change their shorts. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Wow. nice pic. I can see the people by the fence ducking in cover. With the plane on the ground that early, I'm surprized it didn't take out the fence. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Wow! Not something you see every day! Maybe it's time for an ILS at SXM...glideslope help, anyone? | |
 A visitor from Guam posted Wed July 19, 2006:Talk about early touchdown! I'm surprised that thing didn't clip the fence! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Congrats on a great photo - probably will go down as one of the best on a.net | |
| A visitor from Sweden posted Wed July 19, 2006: You can almost feel the fear of the two persons at the fence.. Anyway great pick. But from what I have learned you are not supposed to land on those yellow arrows.. T/0 is ok but not landing.. | |
 A visitor from Estonia posted Wed July 19, 2006:WoW, that is way too early!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Makes you wonder if the pilot community places bets with each other to see who can have the lowest pass over Maho beach. Just...wow. Good catch. | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed July 19, 2006: Whow, the "fence huggers" must have been shocked! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Way to go, Chris! This was a very unusually low approach and you nailed it! I would've screwed this up somehow- Daniel P. | |
| A visitor from Australia posted Wed July 19, 2006: When you look at the distance from the outer fence to where the 747 is about to touch down there is only seconds in time in it. This is certainly a one off photo as well as a one off landing. I am not sure that where the 747 is landing is designed to take the weight as this appears to be the apron not the main runway. | |
| A visitor from Russian Federation posted Wed July 19, 2006: This is too low! Looks scary - the main landing gear could kill spotters near fence. | |
| A visitor from Australia posted Wed July 19, 2006: Oh my god! I've never seen a picture of such impending dramatic contact! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed July 19, 2006: Oh my god. Talk about Low! Great picture!! | |
| A visitor from Brazil posted Wed July 19, 2006: Great shot at the exact moment! Congratulations! Zazá | |
