  • We have lifted off from Albuquerque International Airport, en route to Denver.
  • Heading north along the Rio Grande River, I believe. The green stuff nearly straight down is the Sandia Resort Golf Course.
  • As we approached the area where I thought we may be near Red River, the clouds decreased visibility a bit -- and made me start to wonder what the descent into Denver would be like.
  • Actually, the descent was not bad. Here you see Jeppesen Terminal Building at Denver International Airport. It's my understanding that the designer wanted something symbolic of the Rocky Mountains.
  • This is one of the few flights I have taken over the U.S. where I really had very little idea where we were at any particular time. So, this is someplace about half way between Denver and Seattle. I thought all the sandstone holes and drainage channels looked pretty cool. Anyone recognize this area? If so, please leave comments!
  • It's always a good omen when Mt. Rainier decides to peek out of the fog and welcome a traveler to the Pacific Northwest.
  • Here, you see both Mt. Rainier (to your left) and Mt. St. Helens (on the horizon, slightly right of center).
  • Approaching Seattle. That's Lake Washington in the foreground and Puget Sound in the background.
  • You can see the Space Needle here, sticking up against the background of Elliot Bay, to your right from downtown Seattle. Join us in the NEXT album for a stroll in the forest and some time at refreshing waterfalls.
