That sky color is... :o :o :o

High Flight Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared

Thanks for the replies..  Yes, I tried  zooming in a bit, but that left some the colorful sky out. I don't take enough screenshots to be good at it, so I rarely post. I was just awed by the colors and wanted to show ya'all   :)


And yeah.. it is a smelly island (no cars at all , LOTS of horsies.. lol  )

I'm looking at some property on the less inhabited island just south of it  (Boise Blanc)..  and they just paved the runway there (still a grass strip in FSX)..

That picture was taken July 2005. I haven't been back since.

Was the golf course there then ?  I can see where it might be.. just beyond the runway. A little too hazy to be certain.

Oh my... good thing they didn't shoot back.

Here are other photos from that day

The golf course would be right behind the building..

And looking back east from the clearing..  I have more, but I think I've already violated all the screenshot rules  :-[

Yeah, that's me   :)

I haven't been shopping in Cedarville in some time.. and I've been mostly in Ohio for the last year or so ..  I have a place in Trout Lake though, so it's very possible you've seen me SOMEwhere in the eastern U.P.
