I work some eight blocks from where the above pic was taken
You can actually see a plane in this picture

Shit. I know flying has become a nightmare lately, but I’m just glad that I’m not in THAT plane.
Almost every year I remember since 1970 we are struggling with wet weather during the Wimbledon championships… not too usual for the time of the year. Summertime Euro-style…
Ahemm… Summertime Northern Euro-Style…
Can’t make out the type of plane, but at least they’re not inverted!! Happened to me in one thunderstorm, just one time. Passengers were not thrilled (well, not in a good way). Nice pix, Gasparrini, did you take them yourself?
