Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Also here I see a AF taxiing on 1 engine. Is this to save fuel or noise restrictions?

First option, it has nothing to do with noise.

On what front do you save then? Wouldn't engine #1 have to get to a higher N1 to get it moving. wouldn't that even out with 2 engines running near to idle. I can only imagine if you need to make a left turn it would only need more energy..

To get the aircraft moving, maybe yes. But you have to note that the aircraft is allready moving after the landing, so the one engine that is still running doesn't have to move the aircraft from zero speed.
