Rainier and Clouds

I took this photo on a February morning on a flight out of Seattle. Just as I got above one cloud layer, I saw the beautiful morning light hitting Mount Rainier.

Above the Clouds

I took this picture a little bit after take-off from Sea-Tac. It is a composite of two photos taken less than a minute apart. There is a seam running down the middle of the picture where the cloud patterns blend, but it's hard to tell.

31 January 2004

New York and Boston are two of the most photogenic cities on Earth and even a rank amateur with a digital camera can manage to get one or two good shots.
