After a couple of minutes, I found a stopping place where I could document the bad guy.

I didn't plan this. I was photographing a sunspot in the morning when Finnair's Airbus hit the picture. If I had left out the barlow lens, the whole machine would have fit.

Last night I went to photograph the sunset and the blue moment. It didn't really go well now, there weren't even any pretty clouds.
