Snuck off for some flying...

Postby Mobius » Tue Jan 15, 2008 10:20 pm

The weather hasn't been very good around here for the past couple weeks, and it's supposed to get snowy and really cold later this week, so I decided to get some flying in today, and I took my camera along.  The first three are pretty much a panorama of flying south, looking east towards Madison (in the first one), then south, then south-west.  The last one is the sunset as I was flying back home.

Very nice 8-)

I got my fly-fix in on monday.  Beautiful weather.  It was fun to get out to the airport in my natural habitat.   :)

I know exactly what you mean.  I was thinking almost exactly that as I walked out of the airport tonight. :)


I've got to ask Ken, what's B/W?  I might be a little too slow...:P ;D

You would think that an enviroment with loud noises and sharp spinny things would put you on edge, but it actually puts me at ease (until I see my former boss)

I think he means Black and White. You know, no color, ;D

I'm hoping to get at least one nice winter flight in this year... you had a good day there: cold, clear, and calm from the looks of it. Nice.

I thought that's what it was.  It is pretty black and white around here in the winter sometimes.  Yesterday it was mostly black, white, and orange. ;)

And thanks for the comments guys. :)

What he meant, I think, was "those would look very good in black and white".
And I agree... although they look OK in color. Some interesting shades in the sky in those shots.

Ken will correct me but I thought he meant that snowscapes look like B/W images even when they're in colour. That's how I read his comment anyway.
