Coasting.91


From The Air.13

Last photos from the airplane when I left SF after my last US visit in early April, all three in order in which they were taken as our plane flew north along the central valley not long after take-off from SFO. I’m reasonably confident that’s Lake Beryessa in the first photo, and then more of the Snow Mountain Wilderness area.


From The Air.8

More views looking west from our plane over the central valley, as explained in the last post on this series.

From The Air.7

Looking west from California’s central valley towards Snow Mountain Wilderness & the various reservoirs and natural lakes on the eastern slopes and foothills of that range of mountains, not long after my last take-off from SF in early April.

From The Air.6

Sticking with our theme of (snow-capped) mountains, you’ll note that some of those white things in the distance are the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains, which run along the western edge of California & at the California Nevada border. Given the time of the photo, this was over the central valley north and east of SF, not too terribly long after our take-off in April. 🙂

Our farewell, for now, to SF on the blog, ’til next visit & new pics.

Coasting.54

Yes, the wharves by SF’s ferry building can count as “coast” on my own blog if I decide they do. And yes, this means I’ve an urgent need to get to some “real” coastline again asap, or we may run dry on images for this series even sooner than the previously-noted country canals. Second to last post from that March – April US swing, already two months ago, goodness me but time flies when you’re chasing postable images. 🙂

Nikos leading the way on the steeper ascent of Henry’s Knob, in Annadel, a fitting last photo from the most recent visit to good ol’ SoCo. 🙂
