At the Technikmuseum in Speyer they have a Boing 474 and you can walk out on its wing.
You can see the Speyer Cathedral.
To the west, the mountains of the Palatinate Forest can be seen.
Further to the south is the town of Speyer and the trees lining the banks of the river Rhein.
Zooming out and the tail of the jumbo on which I was standing comes into view.
And that is the view to the front of the airplane.

This is an exhibit from inside a submarine. Somebody at the Technical Museum in Speyer seems to like these kind of exhibits because we found another one in an airplane. Maybe there were more?
Monday Portrait
We spent Easter Sunday at the Technical Museum in Speyer. We went into a Boeing 747, a Viscount, and a Canada Air CL-415 (an amphibious water bomber) amongst others. The windows are scratchy and dusty as these are museum pieces and no longer in use but that actually works well to make room for all that imagination.

As I live at least 400km away from any coast I have to rely on old holiday photos and pictorial representations of sea creatures. In all cases, these were “out of their element”.
Linked to Friendly Friday: Sea Creatures.
I’ve used this group before. It’s a sculpture of, I think, eight sleepers. There is space to sit next or opposite them but I don’t think living people can really relax close to them.
This is part of a group depicting the night in the garden Gethsemane when all the disciples fell asleep while Jesus prayed.
The way animals sleep, one can only be envious.
And what do turtles dream of?
Cats of course, are champion sleepers. This one slept next to a busy road and had made this flower pot his own. A potted cat, so to speak.
It doesn’t look comfortable but it must be – at the moment this is our cats favourite place for a snooze.
And this picture is – for me – pure bliss. Falling asleep while reading a book … without the dummy, for preference though.
