The story behind the image
2006 saw me travelling to the airport in Munich quite a lot, and after one of my flights I stopped by the outdoor visitor area with an exhibition of three historic airplanes. One of these is the Rudolf von Thüna (D-ANOY). This Junkers Ju 52/3m is a replica of a plane that crashed in 1938 and has been named after the German pioneer pilot who was the first to get his military pilot license in January 1913. This airplane type was extremely popular with German airline Lufthansa in the 1930s.
When I drove past the visitor park on a summer evening, I realized the beauty of the evening sky and stopped at the car park, hurrying to the airplane as the blue hour was about to begin. I love the slight glow of the sunset in the back and the dramatic effect from the wide angle, a perfect perspective for this plane. The image can be cropped for a variety of purposes but I like it the way it is. Very nice.
