Rain and Wind Over the Öresund, Toward Copenhagen and Kastrup

A rainy late afternoon on the bridge, with the camera facing west across the strait toward Copenhagen and Kastrup. Drizzle gives way to a steady overcast as the light fades into sunset. Wind was brisk the whole window, gusting up to around 45 km/h, and the sea running a slight 0.4–0.7 m of swell. Kastrup (Copenhagen Airport) sits on the far shore in this direction, and there was real movement there through the window. A few examples from the airport's own data, handy if you want to scrub and catch them on screen: the SAS arrival from Hannover around 16:19 (running late), the Ryanair from Vienna around 16:26 (also late), and the Qatar Airways departure for Doha around 16:35. Flights keep coming through the evening — the Ryanair from Budapest lands around 19:43, and the LOT departure for Warsaw pushes out at about 20:30.
