The San Francisco 49ers bounced back from a home loss to the Atlanta Falcons with a home win over the Los Angeles Rams and a road win in the NFL’s 100th season last regular season game over the Seattle Seahawks to get the number #1 seed in the NFC. That number one seed got the 49ers a first round bye and a divisional match up against the lowest rating surviving team from the Wild Card round of playoffs. That team is the Minnesota Vikings who the 49ers will play on Saturday January 11th at Levi’s stadium with a start time of 1:35 Pacific time. You never know how a 49er divisional playoff game will turn out. Eight years ago at Candlestick Park the 49ers defeated the New Orleans Saints in a divisional playoff game that was ranked 3rd all time in the 50 years the NFL has had a divisional playoff.

British Airways 787-9 Dreamliner flies just over the Levi's sign of Levi's stadium in Santa Clara.

If you had to guess which element of this photo was added during post production, a logical guess would the British Airways 787-9 Dreamliner that appears to be flying just barely over the Levi’s sign on it’s way to San Jose International Airport. That logical guess would be wrong. The combination of a very long lens and the fact the British Airways jet is heading for a landing at San Jose airport gives the impression that the Levi’s sign was in danger. It wasn’t.
The sky was added to the original photo using the amazing new sky replacement software in Luminar 4.
Using information from planespotters.net, I found out this particular Boeing jet first flew on September 8th, 2015 and was delivered to British Airways on September 28th, 2015.
