It's good to have a goal...

I'm workin' hard to make this my new commuter.
Just passing time...

In a Saturday ride
Last of the Two's

In Frederick Meijer Garden you will find these two statues facing each other. They say that they really don't know the reasoning behind these two men sitting like this.
At the Air Zoo there are these two planes in a dog fight - one is upside down and the other is painted on the mural.
There was also this old Ford in amongst the airplanes at the Air Zoo and I liked the headlights.
This shot is another that caught my eye at the Air Zoo, but it was not an airplane - it was a double steering wheel of an old car. Not everything at the Air Zoo was airplanes

PS. Mike H the thumbnail and the children in following along are part of the mural that wraps around the inside of the Air Zoo.

A few flight shots.

Portland, Oregon is a city divided by a river. There are eight bridges that tie it all together. This was taken shortly after take off from PDX. We stopped in L.A. to toss a few bodies off and pick up some fresh ones. This sunset is looking back West from somewhere over AZ. Coming back West I had picked my seat on the side of the plane and had it all set up so I would be able to see the Grand Canyon. I really lucked out and the clouds broke just as we got over The Canyon. One more shot of The Canyon.
If you are going to shoot while flying... Clean the window, keep your camera as close to the window as you can to cut unwanted reflections and use a U.V. or haze filter if you have one. Best shooting time as per normal for landscapes is early morning and late evening because of haze problems.
Did you know that with an average weight of 4.5 grams it would take 7,500,000 of These to equal the weight of a 737 with an average load on it?

Jordan's favorite plane
Birch trees from a hiking trail on base.
And finally, my last moose sighting, also taken on base. We actually spotted her on our way to the airport, so I sort of felt like it was one last bit of Alaskan magic, you know? 1 2 3
