Below at the base of Iron Mountain, in San Bernardino County, California, is one of the five pumping stations for the Colorado River Aqueduct. Iron Mountain Pumping Station is the first station after the water is lifted from the Colorado River near Parker Dam 56 miles east. Here the water is lifted 144 feet into a 7 mile tunnel that goes through Iron Mountain. The system is composed of two reservoirs, five pumping stations, 62 miles of canals, 92 miles of tunnels and 84 miles of buried conduit and siphons.

Students settle down for some afternoon studying by the windows.

A dark cold day but just now I looked up and saw a gloriously bright white light bursting from behind a dark cloud and spreading light on the water and into my studio. Love that!

View on the village through the old window of our room.

Studio time after chores. Seeing my work in progress with new eyes after being away for a few days.

This is the view from the cockpit of the Packet, showing one of the two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radials. It's not the best quality, but it was the best I could do with Photoshop to make up for the cloudy windows. Still, one cannot resist a classic propliner view!

View from the upstairs "three-season" porch, formerly a reading room, now a playroom.

Passing Haarlem just before landing on 18R (Polderbaan) at Schiphol on BA428 from Heathrow on G-EUUX.

For a while, we were chasing our shadow.

If I could get up the courage to go to bed, I am afraid I would not sleep (or perhaps I am afraid I would sleep and fear for my dreams). ...
