Airport fun

.
Whenever I go to Ben-Gurion Airport to welcome an arriving friend I like to spend hours enjoying the sights and sounds.
There goes another El Al jet!

Whatever rain we last had seems to have stayed trapped just outside this side entrance to Terminal 3. It is really only an emergency exit, but I was standing inside when a uniformed airport personnel lady waded through the deep water in high heels, making faces as she swiped her card to open the door.

The huge puddle on the roof was perfect for reflecting the clouds though.

  5. I'm just glad you got some rain! (And a visitor from afar.)

  6. Nice reflection off the roof water. Standing water is not good for roofs though.

  7. It looks so modern and fresh, quite different from the desert landscape that we think of for the the middle east.

  8. Beautiful post for Sky Watch, Dina.
    I agree, it's nice to spend time enjoying the lots of perspectives in the airports.

  11. I love the reflection. I completely forgot about Skywatch this week. I think I'll just hold my shot for another week at this point. Oops. Too much turkey on the brain.

    My approach to airports is the opposite of yours - we live quite nearby, so my strategy is not to leave the house until I see their plane coming in for a landing ;).

  15. What a neat roof reflection! If you did not explain what it was I would have had time figuring it out. Very neat!

  21. I enjoy watching planes take off and land too. You found a great puddle and reflection!

    My link at James's blog is faulty and McLinky won't let me correct it, so here it is:

  22. I like spending time at the airports too! They're making it harder and harder for us though to find a good place to watch the planes from! With all the airport security you can't get NEAR a plane - unless you're flying!

    You got some nice reflections though!

  23. Thanks everyone, for your fun comments.

    Melli, you're right, hard to get anywhere near the planes unless you're in a departure lounge. Even for my long-range photo here, I noticed a security car come park behind me. When I stayed too long, he beeped.
