Plane spotting at the Zurich Airport and a short trip to the scenic Uetliberg, Zurich's most famous mountain.

  • The Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 at gate E59 of the Zurich Airport midfield terminal, the only place where it can dock due to its size.
  • This is the very plan we had arrived just one and a half hours earlier. After getting our luggage we took the bus back out to the observation deck because that's really the only place where you can see a plane docked at terminal E. There's no unrestrained view from the architecturally challenged inside.
  • Swiss International Air Lines Airbus A320-214 taking off from runway 28 at ZRH.
  • Swiss International Air Lines Avro RJ100 taking off from the same runway. In the background you can see the beautiful Bernese Alps.
  • Air Berlin Airbus A319-112 lifting off over Rümlang.
  • Swiss International Air Lines Airbus A330-343 after take off from runway 16.
  • Plane spotters on the midfield terminal terrace. In the background a Singapore Airlines A380.
  • The observation tower on top of the Uetliberg, Zurich's backyard mountain.
  • View of the Lake of Zurich seen from the Uetliberg look-out tower.
  • Panoramic view of the Lake of Zurich with the remarkable Ruchen (the mountain surrounded by clouds) in the background.
  • Sun shades on top of the Uetliberg.
  • The top of the Ruchen, part of the Glarus Alps, surrounded by clouds.
  • Ivy riding a barely definable animal. :-)
  • View of Zurich. Look through the binoculars if you want to see something more closely. (Hahaha ...)
  • The look-out tower on top of the Uetliberg.
  • An odd lamp along the road.
