Visited AMS last week while driving from Copenhagen to London. AMS was the perfect stop for a day break from driving.
Gotta love Amsterdam. Spent just the one day there and its Amazing how many angles and views you can get over course of just a day. The variety offered would be impossible to get at Copenhagen, my home airport.
In no particular order:
Love that row of trees in the background - makes even a KLM Fokker look good:

Two highlights in one - Martin Retro and shooting at the canal-bridge crossing towards Polderbaan:

Almost looks better the old 747 did - cleaner anyway:

Just an Aeroflot but great spot:

Short finals for 06 just after sunrise - love the shadow thrown on the flaps next to the right (left seen from here) engine:

Three-triples from the terrace:

A week later (that would be one of these days) and the sun would have risen between the buildings - Its all about timing isn´t it?

Lumps are just so photogenic:

Another strobe - this one on the wing:

I wonder how long to go for these blue beauties!?

Colin caught it too - while balancing on a railing dangerously close to the cold canal water:

My last shot that day:

China Southern was quite exotic and arrived in gorgeous light:

Delta A330´s can become quite boring at AMS, but then you can go for an arty angle:

Even Vueling was snapped. Gotta love them canals:

Amazing - my first CRJ1000:

We were not the only ones enjoying the canal-bridge and Korean:

Not long to go this - Soooo glad I caught it:

The end - with a KLM 747 landing about 5 minutes before sunrise - had to get up early for this:
