Greetings from Tomorrow...

to all you Blogiteers in the US and Canada, where the sparkling white joys of winter are coming on... It was sunny and 70s F (20s C) when I arrived yesterday morning in Sydney.

Photos coming into focus...

On October 13, I flew from Seattle to Denver through a clear enough sky for some excellent views of the Earth below. Even more amazing than having an ideal window seat for that trip, is that I have already begun to load a selection of photos to flickr, and have already edited about a third of them....

Mystery Tour

When I visited my daughter and son-in-law in New Zealand a couple of years ago, they asked me if I wanted to know where we were going for a special weekend. I said, "Surprise me!" So they did! Here are just a few shots from that magical mystery tour:... Sign in to see full entry.

Window Seat Jan 6, 2007

Finally loaded these to flickr... my very first good aerial photos from a regular commercial flight on a day of perfect light and visibility conditions, with just a light enough snow to highlight without obscuring. http://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/sets/72157624717852993/with/4942669994/ Sign in to see full entry.

I didn't take a lot of photos on my drive through north west Montana in July, but several of these, drove past, got a mile or so on down the road, then turned around and went back for them.

I do love that 24x zoom! The link is the same as on the previous post. Sign in to see full entry.

We saw a grand distant storm between the road and the Rockies, falling over Boulder, maybe, and then just over the border into Wyoming, saw two... Sign in to see full entry.
