Los Angeles, California.
For the past few years my routine trips to LA to visit my mother have been on United in "economy plus" which gives a bit more legroom. I used to get regular business class upgrades but United started charging both miles and money so I skip them.
I have to have an aisle seat; at my age I can't make it across without using the restroom at least once. This flight was overbooked and after everyone got settled a gate agent came on board and moved me to a remaining business-class seat which was a window but which I gladly took. While getting up to pee mid-flight involved intricate gymnastics to climb over my deeply sleeping row-mate, I did get to do a bit of shooting out the window which I enjoyed doing in years past and missed.
Taking off from LAX on a 6:00 am flight affords some great morning light. Even though the right wing and engine was in my way I knew the Ricoh GR had enough resolution to afford cropping so all I really had to do was get the metering right so the wing and engine didn't affect what I wanted from the clouds and make sure the camera didn't focus on the window.
Whilst much of Scotland was cloudy, the Grampian mountains produced some good breaks in the cloud over Aberdeenshire, allowing me to see this very bright display of noctilucent clouds. The clouds were visible from around an hour after sunset, with some bright bands to the northeast. The display looks as if it may have extended overhead later, although much of this was obscured by clouds. Time-lapse composed of over 100 images taken between 2225 and 0140 UTC.
I took this through the car window traveling through Tucson, Arizona. Later that evening and throughout the night we traveled in alot of rain and lightning.
We were out in the Blue Hills waiting for the clouds to blow over to take some pictures of the leonids. This turned out surprisingly well I thought :) That night taught me the value of a good tripod.

Finally a break in the weather yielded a colorful sunset.

This past weekend a big Storm came to Southern Ontario and reaked havoc. This image is just some of the Storm clouds breaking up and moving East in Western Toronto.
