Up


Flying out, Nov. 2

No matter how many times I've flown in the past few years, I still have an unnatural obsession with taking lots of pictures out of the windows of airplanes.

Dinosaur

What airport is complete without a giant dinosaur skeleton?

The airplane

The airplane I flew out on.

Deviation

I found this sign rather ominous.

Big airport with no city around it? Must be Pittsburgh! (And I recognize it from landing there a year or so ago.)

It's a river.

Pittsburgh

Downtown Pittsburgh.

Terrain

They have actual terrain out here. It's not just flat with cornfields.

More terrain.

I need to stop taking random shots.
