Amsterdam Airport about a century ago. This was shot at the Aviodrome air museum in Holland. The building in the background is a replica of the terminal that started Schiphol International Airport. Quite a change if you have seen Schiphol Airport in recent years...

Paul, It was the time that everything seemed to be simple. The Aviodome air museum gives a good impression of that time and your image does the same. Regards, Cornelius

I like it. I would like to see more of the aircraft but your purpose was the air museum so maybe next time.

Yes, I have been to Schiphol (2004), so I do know what you are talking about and Wow! Who could have imagined, but even a century ago, it looked like a great little airport. I like the way you took this shot (perspective). Nicely done, Paul and thank you.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

The aircraft wings form a nice 'V' to help your eyes focus on the building. Convenient that the propeller stopped mostly out of the picture. Nice replica. Hard to believe we've only had "wings" for about a century. Thanks for sharing.

1970 I made a stop in Amsterdam. Paul I don't even remember the airport. You brought back thoughts of many years ago. Thank you sir.
