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.

Very strange atmosphere.
On the panoramaterras it was so quiet.Inside usually a crowd of people, not today.

Echt een surealistisch gewaarwording .. .geen/nauwelijks activiteit op Schiphol. 127.000 pax (opgave van RTL nieuws in journaals) die schijnbaar in het zelfde schuitje zitten door de aswolk en de gevolgen daarvan.
Ik hoop dat de situatie vrij snel weer "normaal" kan worden.

Wel foto's die een bepaalde sfeer uitstralen - puike foto's overigens

very nice pictures and very rare situation. i'm working on the ramp at EHAM and i can tell you is was very strange and quiet over there, you saw everyone doing things that we can not often do because there's so little time for doing it.
why is there lock on a door of a shop which is 24/7 open?

makes me think of a title of an album by Supertramp... (yes: "Even in the quietest moments..."). Very weird to see all those empty desks, trolly's, parked towtrucks and all covered-up engines.

Still, very nice pictures of a bizarre situation. Thanks !

(If they don't start flying soon I'm going to start birdwatching -or even shooting some with my canon :wink: -; at least THEY keep on flying... :evil: )

Never seen this before except back home when 9/11 happened. It is surreal yet beautiful at the same time. Anymore pictures from the ramp ?

Hello,

I`m also just back from a tour at Schiphol. I also went to the panorama terras. It was really so quiet outside. Inside ok there were still enough passengers but outside :shock: Some security persons were just talking at the panorama terras.

Also my attention felt on the lot of police officers in the terminal.

@ picture 6 today the PH-BXA `Retrojet` was standing at the second left gate from the Transavia.

Greetings,
Kristof
