Pictures of Zeppelin Bend in Webbing
roo:
A couple of times I've mentioned that the Zeppelin Bend can make a clean-looking knot in webbing if tied with care. I've attached a couple images for those who are curious and may not have webbing or other flat material beyond perhaps shoelaces.
The first picture is shown drawn up lightly and flat. The second is shown after being strained. I won't bother showing the backside of this symmetric bend, as that would be a bit redundant. They're almost nice enough to wear on your collar. ;)

Is it still easy to untie?

It has been in all the webbing that I've used. I also like how it keeps the standing parts in a straight line.

That's more than could be said for the Water Knot, right? In other words, the Water Knot doesn't make the standing ends natural lie in a straight line.

???
Let's try to understand how the SParts could NOT be
in a straight line (given that they're all that bears tension)!?
