Day trip to MUC: Meh but fun

Last Monday, I went on a day trip to MUC. Because it was scorching hot, I decided not to be a hero and opted for the observation deck in Terminal 2 instead of Besucherhügel. Not that it made a huge difference. Although there are a few shadowy pocket on the deck, you still bound to roast slowly under the relentless sun most of the time.

I didn't have much luck with my airplane photography endeavors this time around. An Airbus A350-900 from Lufthansa at the gate right below me blocked most of the view, making it all but impossible to capture airplanes. Pretty bad heat haze made matters even worse. On top of that, there weren't that many interesting airplanes to capture, and because the gates on the opposite side were all occupied, the background was less than ideal.

In short, I took more that 400 photos, but I ended up with a single okay-ish one. But since I have a soft spot for Airbus A340 (and especially the -600 variant), and it's the first time I caught D-AIHP, I consider it a win.

And you know what? It's fine! I've had fun, and that's what counts.
