Views from the Flights

Alan amused himself (and me) by taking pictures from the planes we flew on.


Outbound the evening of March 12th from Cleveland: the ice on Lake Erie is amazing.





























Flying over Cincinnati on our way to Nashville.

We had time to have dinner before boarding the plane for LAX, so it was dark taking off again.

The return flight took off from LAX around 11am on Monday, March 16th.




Flights usually take off over the ocean and then loop around to head east.









what is that grey spot in the ocean?









backlog of container ships due to the dockworkers strike/slowdown



















Morris Reservoir on the San Gabriel River just east of Los Angeles
























Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake in the San Bernadino Mountains.

Then we flew over land just north of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. On the right side here you can see the Grand Canyon West airport.

Conveniently, this time we stayed on the plane and it wasn't too long until we were airborne again for Cleveland.









Still ice on Lake Erie.




That might be an icebreaker.
