the 777F is a great plane for sure but if you go for the looks i'm much more impressed by the A330F.

And the 330F doesn't have that kind of nose down attitude, with the NLG Wheel well repositionned, the containers moves flat freely in the belly, ... ...

not like the regular 330's where you burn the little PTU's because there's a slope to bring the Containers at the bottom of the bulk.

Coming back on the 330F, the reason why the A/C has a fairing at the Nose Landing gear is to keep the A/C flat on the ground, the attach and main fittings of the NLG are lower in the nose compartment than a regular 330, reason why you see that kind of "mentoniere"...

there is one 777 per day it seems.
very early in the morning.

Maybe they are now using LGG as a hub instead of FRA ?
It would be quite a good news for LGG.

both SO/thai 777 are in LGG today.
Rumor say it will be frequent.

Who are they flying for ?
Usually, traffic increases until X-Mas
