Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner facing to the
right but being pushed back to the left by an out-of-frame tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long pole.
The plane is mostly white, with dark blue "Air France" titles on the lower rear fuselage, with the black registration "G-JEAO" on the upper rear.
The tail has a series of dark blue diagonal stripes, thicker towards the front, with a single red stripe at the rear.
Grey concrete apron fills most of the rest of the frame, with a row of orange and white traffic cones in the background on the right, and a couple of people wearing hi-viz jackets wandering around.
Bright patches on the ground suggest that, while the sun bay be shining brightly, as suggested by the strong shadow this plane casts on the ground, but it was raining not too long ago.

I was on my bicycle in the bike lane across the driveway at the east end of Concourse E when I got this.
