Jon sent me this pic during his journey down the Alcan with Zingo and his mom,
who snapped this photo.

Jon wrote:

“I love this pic.
Everybody is looking at the camera except Zingo looking at your food!  Lol”

And he said about customs:

“So far so good!  Canada Customs was very helpful and unpacked the truck and U Haul for us.  Unfortunately, we still had thousands of miles left to go, so Mom and I had to repack everything!  Lol  We have made it to Fort St. John and the roads have been good.  Still plan on going thru Banff.”

Fisheye Fun

The following photos were taken with the Olympus E-P3,
trying out a fisheye lens for the first time on a whim.

I was pleasantly surprised,
not having seen a lot of fisheye photos I had really liked.

And it just so happened that the painter
just then painted the ramp.

Looks like I’ll keep it.

Petals

I like the gliding and the swooping better,
but these do look a bit like plant petals.

Blue East

2/5/11 – 7:59 AM

After pushback,
the tail points blue east.

In front of the 767 & the Chugach Mountain range,
Paul stands ready to pull the headset plug

Flat Top Mountain just touches the left side of the windshield wiper,
and lines of de-icing fluid distort the yellow tow-bar.
