From the Air.56

If your browser loads this as I hope, you’ll see one large photo above that shows Lake Tahoe at the top (north) and the snowy Sierra Nevadas below it; one large photo at the bottom which looks back west and north across the arid western Nevada landscape, to Lake Tahoe and the Sierras. And in between, ten photos I took during the six minutes that elapsed as our plane flew across the Sierra Nevadas, leaving behind California and beginning its flight across Nevada.

Mountains.46

Certainly from a Dutch perspective, we can call that a mountain. All seen from the train between A’dam and Berlin when I returned in early July for a week of work. What I didn’t manage to photograph b/c it went by too fast and I wasn’t paying attention was a remarkable mountaintop memorial to Emperor Wilhlem in the interestingly-named Lower Saxony town of Porta Westfalica. I simply must get off the train there, some day…

Lake Living.36

Our last photos, for now, from lovely Geneva Lake in Wisconsin, which begat this series.

Ah, Royalty.36

Another lovely royal detail from Berlin – this one from the Crown Prince’s Palace on Unter den Linden 🙂
