Cold, rainy and overcast, and here we are at JFK airport, ready to depart for California. We've been waiting for this trip for a couple of months. It is our Thanksgiving and Christmas with Liz and Amy! After takeoff, there was a solid overcast until Utah, where a break in the clouds first showed beautiful snow-covered mountains. A short while later, a stunning barren landscape appeared below, with red mountains illuminated by the orange light of the sun just before sunset. Oh to be at a lower altitude in a slow-moving small plane with plenty of time to shoot aerials!
Then more clouds beneath us until we passed over Santiago Peak and the mountain ridges east of Long Beach. As we began our descent through the clouds, suddenly the setting sun appeared over the Pacific as we were on final approach to the airport. Sunny California at last!
