There are not that many things I can watch over and over again. One of it - openeing and closing of 747 nose-door. That’s the moment when Queen of the skies is getting hungry or smiles at you (depending on the viewing angle).
Nurdy fact - thanks to the nose door, loading and offloading of the main-deck cargo can be done faster and it also allows to load and offload extremly long pieces: technically a cargo can be as long as the main deck - 50 meter and as wide as 3.8m.
Texas is special.
They call Houston the energy capital of the world. Might be.
For most people, Houston equals NASA, so the title image will be from the Space Center.
I believe Houston itself has a problem (as most big cities nowadays).
Spending weeks and weeks there, I had enough of I-45, Katy, Beltway 8, and Hardy. These words still give me goosebumps.
Below are a few 35mm film photographs.
Space Center
Space Center was a nice experience, however, very touristic and kid-oriented. It was exceptionally interesting to see the Historic Mission Control center and Training facilities (to be pre-booked).
During the course of 2025, I completed the migration of previously added pictures to Dropbox (so they are available again) and added the "Subscribe" option. New blog posts are now in English, and I put more emphasis on the visual (photos) part.
I‘ve happened to visit Madeira for a week earlier this year. While the weather was windy and very unstable, it did not stop me from exploring the historic, art, and food highlights of Funchal as I stayed in a nice apartment in the heart of the old town.
