Merry Christmas

Speaks for itself.

Sunrise Over the Arctic Circle

The flight from London took off at 12.30 pm in sunlight and landed in San Fransisco 3.30 pm the same day, in sunlight. And yet we flew through two hours or so of night. We must have flown north of the great circle route into the arctic circle. I've never flown this route in December before so never noticed. The morning light lit up the insides of the engines in such a way that I had to capture it, even if I only had an iPhone camera with me.

Quite a bit of noise reduction applied in Lightroom.

Sonoma Winery turned Green

After a year or more of drought, we get some rain. Everything turned almost overnight from brown to this vivid green color.
