Airliner landing in fog
Foggy landing. A Boeing 737 airliner approaching an airport through fog. The fog shows up the bright white landing lights as well as the red anti-collision beacon. Most modern airliners are capable of landing in extremely poor visibility as long as they are fitted with an autoland system. Photographed near the Sheremetyevo One airport in Moscow, Russia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense atmosphere of an airliner landing in dense fog. The image showcases a Boeing 737 aircraft approaching an airport through the thick mist, with its bright white landing lights piercing through the gloom. The red anti-collision beacon adds a sense of urgency and danger to the scene. Despite the limited visibility, modern airliners equipped with autoland systems can safely navigate such challenging conditions. Taken near Moscow's Sheremetyevo One airport, this photograph beautifully illustrates how fog accentuates both the lighting and instrument features of an airplane. The mist creates an ethereal glow around the aircraft, emphasizing its vertical presence against a backdrop of clouded uncertainty. In this moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the invisible threats that pilots face during flights in poor weather conditions. However, their skill and reliance on advanced technology enable them to overcome these challenges and ensure passenger safety. The striking contrast between the vibrant red beacon and the surrounding fog evokes a sense of looming emergency while highlighting aviation's continuous efforts to enhance visibility and mitigate risks. This visually stunning print from Science Photo Library serves as a powerful reminder of both nature's unpredictability and humanity's determination to conquer it for safe air travel worldwide.
