Mountains.7
Since the last sequence celebrated the northern summer at its peak, I decided we’d give you a serious change of pace by celebrating snow-capped peaks in those lovely mountains of northern Iraq that we’ve been showing you. It might also provide a wee bit of mental coolness to anyone sweating through a lovely but hot long northern summer day :-). These won’t be your last views of those dramatic mountains in this series, but they’re just about all of them in which I could discern at least a dusting of snow somewhere in the frame of the photo. Ah, and one note: to put such large photo galleries up with an interesting layout, I use a different interface which the blog’s host has re-allowed us to use on occasion. However, if you’re viewing this on a small screen it’s quite likely your interface will mess it up pretty thoroughly, so if you’re only seeing one or two photos, try again when you’re back on a larger-sized computer screen if you’re interested. Enjoy.

From Sea to Sierra (SFO->EWR)
If you haven’t been to the San Francisco Bay Area yourself, and if you wonder why I’m always so happy to get home to it; or why visitors to SF and the bay area so often rave about it — a good place to start is to take in the photo just above. I’m still working my way through photos I took last year, before I headed over to Bangui, where I’ve been now for more than two months. I shot all of the photos in this post during a take-off from SFO en route to EWR last year, in May — but what I’m posting are just photos from the bay area and up til the time we reached the still snow-covered Sierra Nevadas. Since it was nearly a year ago, and this year hasn’t seen as much snow — just remember: it’s last year! Enjoy!
