Originally, I was going to title this "Magna res est vocis et silentii temperamentum" (great thing is to know when to speak and when to keep quiet). But, that is too long & I babble too much. I'm not going to tell you about this photo. I want you to appreciate it (or hate it) for how it appears, not for what it is.

 

After all, The thing speaks for itself.

San Francisco International Airport has many different takeoff/landing configurations: clear skies and calm winds means the airport can use the most effective configuration, 28-01; as in landing 28s, departing 01s. When bad weather rolls through, you will usually see 10-19 in use. Crazy winds out of the north see the sexiest configuration, 01-01, and crazy storms blowing through see 19-19 in use.

 

Here, we see a common sight during the summer. Every day, at around 15:00, the winds out of the west increase to 20+ knots, meaning we see 28-28. In this departure lineup, led by an Air Force C-17, you can see pretty much every domestic narrowbody operator at SFO waiting their turn for departure.

Peak leaf color in northeast Connecticut was a couple of weeks ago and I mostly missed it. I left for D.C. just as my whole neighborhood started glowing and I returned just after many of the maples had dropped their reds. I did see some of the glory on an errand run in WIllimantic.

East Berlin, PA. I had a lovely walk around this liitle town and then had a wonderful dinner in the very old Inn.
