Chicago Sunset Under Heavy Clouds

Not my best aerial photo but I like it anyway. I was flying from
Pittsburgh to Chicago on my way home and there were snow storms
everywhere but the sun made it through anyway.

Chicago is located on the sourthern tip of Lake Michigan. Winters
there are cold and windy. Despite this, Chicago gets it's nickname,
"The Windy City" from its politicians, not its weather.

MCAS Tustin

The remains of MCAS Tustin taking off to the east from John Wayne
Airport (SNA). The two large buildings are blimp hangers. They are
so big that when the weather is right they form clouds inside and it
can rain.

Somewhere between LA and New York I got a shot of this alluvial fan.

Newport Harbor


A view of Newport Harbor as seen during takeoff from John Wayne airport (SNA).  The outlet to the Pacific is out of view to the left.  The large island in the middle of the harbor is Lido Island.  If you look closely to the right of the harbor you can see the Santa Ana River flow into the Pacific.  This marks the border between Newport Beach to the south and Huntington Beach to the north.

Palos Verdes Peninsula

Note the curvature in the wing. Those things really bend.
