Imperial War Museum in Duxford

Some aircraft photos from the Duxford air museum.  Last time I was here I had a simple camera so the photos didn't come out there best, so this time I took my Nikon and 70-300mm to see what kind of photos I could get.

A-10 Warthog - This aircraft is the ugliest thing to fly, but I like it!

Taking off from the airfield

Kröller-Müller Museum

The story goes that the husband wanted a hunting ground, but the wife wanted a fine art museum.  So the compromise?  Build the fine art museum in the middle of the large hunting ground.  Now the grounds are a natural part, and the museum is best accessed with the free bikes with a relaxing cycle though the large park.

Inside the museum is the second largest collection of Van Gogh paintings.

In addition, it has one of the largest sculpture gardens in Europe.

I simply love the architecture of the museum, with the simplicity of Dutch design and nature.

View from Deutsches Museum

The view from the observation floor on top of Deutsches Museum is quite nice view of Munich.

I like the weather instruments on the tower
