Flying over Ohio

Sunset as the plane circles the airport in Ohio.

Connecticut

Mark Twain's house or at least the home he had built in Hartford, CT. The tour guide said he wrote Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn here. It is a beautiful ostentatious home.


CT capitol building was also very beautiful. I like the gold Dome.

Rhode Island

Downtown Providence has this really beautiful water walkway.


and yummy fresh lobster salad!

Mystic

Ever seen the movie Mystic pizza?

It takes place in Mystic, CT so I had to stop and partake in some Pizza
Simply the best pizza EVER!


Of course the view was nice too

Be prepared!

Seen while hiking along the Coastal Trail in Anchorage, Alaska.

Cruising Alaska

For the past 7 days or so I've been without net access but not without my camera. Instead of splitting them up amongst a bunch of blogs I decided to just combine them here. So here you have it -


The Gas powered clock in Vancouver, BC Canada


Sushi display on the ship. It was quite good :)


Dog sledding over the dirt. here was my team of 16 dogs


And some puppies I got to play with afterward.


Toilet with a view in Skagway, AK


An old wash basin set up in one of the houses in Ketchikan, AK


After Zip Lining through the Tongass Rainforest I had to pull off my high heels and cross this suspension bridge. You should check out the video I posted on my you tube


The train trip through White Mountain Pass was gorgeous despite the overcast weather.


Another white mountain Pass photo. An ominous photo of an old bridge spanning the gulch. the story i heard was miners use to bring horses weighted with their equipment across this bridge, many a horse would fall off and find it's doom in the gulch far below.


A glacier. There were lots of glaciers and no picture really did them justice. This is one of the college point glaciers you can see how it is fed by two other glaciers


A closeup view of the portage glacier. This is the closest i got to a glacier (about 300 yards) one could almost hear it moving. I love the blue coloring.


A waterfall near the portage glacier. There are a lot of waterfalls around most being runoff from the snow atop the mountains.


And lastly a nice Alaskan beer to end your day. Sadly this is the final picture of gray squirrel as shortly after his drink he got lost in Skagway missing the boat home.

Grouse Mountain

View of Vancouver, BC from Grouse Mountain about 3000 feet elevation


Para glider just taking off from the top of the mountain. He flew for quite a distance.


Pannekoeken a dutch cross between pancake and crepe. It was quite the tasty breakfast


Lastly, poutine a Canadian favorite? Basically take french fries add turkey gravy and cheese curds = yumyum!

Capilano Suspension Bridge, Vancouver, BC

The bridge it's a long way across and an even longer way down!


I'm not sure what they were working on but it had something to do with the support cables.


Sluggy

Thunderbird

Today's picture comes from the Vancouver, BC Canada Airport. A Thunderbird greets us international travelers. Actually I was rather impressed by the art and sculptures throughout this airport.

Wandering..

While my friends works I decided to wander the neighborhood.

first I found the book store:


then I went walking through random areas of grass and found the husk of a once tennis ball? It looked like some dog had a great time!


Maybe it was this one?


Random statue any clue what it may be? i'm at a complete loss however it stands in front of a Dentist office.


Lastly, i sat down to a nice Wild Berry Smoothie at the local homemade icecream/gelato place. It had quite the atmosphere.

Overhead

Flying over Ohio. Yesterday I took a plan trip to Richmond (via Atlanta). i always love getting birds eye view shots of land.


This is Atlanta, GA skyline. It was very hazy and my window was dirty :(. Maybe i'll get a better one on the trip home.

Soaring over Arizona

Daily photo for Jan 26, 2010
I flew home to Ohio today. It was an uneventful trip mostly cloudy with a few nice views of landscape. It was a long trip and I got really bored. So bored in fact I started practicing my shadow puppets

Beach day

First full day in Los Angeles I really can't choose just one photo to illustrate today so here is the series:


Seashells strewn across the sand.


Left behind skateboards. I guess the owners are taking a break to surf. There is a skateboarding area at Venice Beach. It was packed!


Surfers Enjoying the last hours of sun. The Pacific ocean is COLD!


Feet in the Pacific Ocean. It was COLD!! (but not as cols as snow)


Legal Graffiti wall on Venice Beach. There are several walls you can get permits to paint.


Sad Store. There was only a few racks of clothing in the shop I'm clueless if it was even open.

Reflections of an Airport

Departing Dayton, OH Airport for LAX. Excited reflection



Layover at Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport. Snoopy look like he is having a good time eh?
