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?

Walk down just about any ciy street, and you will see these, little "Free, take one" boxes that advertise anything from real estate to pets.  Walk a little further, and you'll see something broken or under construction.  During the holiday season, this BIG Christmas Tree is put up in the middle of PPG Plaza, and there is an ice skating rink around it.  Speaking of PPG (Pittsburgh Paints and Glass), here is a look up it , and a look up the USS steel building as well.  It is the tallest building in Pittsburgh.Heres a picture of one of the many nice city streets, although I forget which one. Incase you ever forget where you are, here's a trash can that will make sure that you never get lost.  Here's one of my favorite shots ever, "a park here" sign.  (This was my desktop picture for a while.) A tall building. And of course, the all important to Pittsburgh bus stop. Sorry it's so late, but better late than never.
