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.
I saw this awesome sky and I liked it very much!
I never get tired of watching the sky and weather. (Yes, I do have a life :) )
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.

Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the United States. The 110-ton elliptical sculpture is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates, which reflect the city's famous skyline and the clouds above. A 12-foot-high arch provides a "gate" to the concave chamber beneath the sculpture, inviting visitors to touch its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected back from a variety of perspectives.
Inspired by liquid mercury, the sculpture is among the largest of its kind in the world, measuring 66-feet long by 33-feet high. Larger versions of the images can be viewed by clicking on them, or you can..
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.
