Awesome! Amazing that you caught this airship! I have never seen one over here in the UK.

Advertising blimps aren't all that uncommon.

I can guess over there. Never seen them over here sadly. Would be nice though.

Very nice. Looks like the blimp left the crane but who in their right mind would climb up the crane to get in . Happy new year by the way.

Actually it's just a blimp, but still cool.

Never said it wasn't a blimp.
But it's still a dirigible!

Okay, I stand corrected. I was under the impression that Dirigibles were exclusively RIGID airships. I see now that I was mistaken.

The grey tones, grain, and odd placement of the subject (not quite center, not quite third) gives a slightly uncomfortable (in a good way), almost surreal feel to this. Or maybe that just stems from my odd fear of blimps.
The position of the blimp on the edge of the clouds though gives it a nice feeling of escapism, especially since there's this dark looming crane in the cloudy area at the bottom, giving the image an anchor to escape from.
Over all I like it.

I consider myself lucky to have been in a spot to catch it with the crane in the same spot.
Did a little finagling with it for color adjustment and passed it through the Flaming Pear Zombie filter.
