The ultimate trip in America isn't a city, nor a beach, nor even a mountain; no, it's the clear shimmering window into eternity that is Badwater Basin at night, set in the sublime landscape of Death Valley, the "True Sky".

Soon I'll be riding them again...."Wisps in the Stream", a capture from the last time I flew across the Atlantic. It's always a special trip to see the clouds from the other side...

When a bolt of color graces the heavy air: my own photographic piece, "Rainbow in the Sultry Night".

Okay, this is an oldie, but despite my relative lack of artistic skill at the time, I think it has a certain charm, especially on a springtime night when the spirit of the season and the wonder of what's out there in the night sky is so prominent. "Purple flowers in flight".

Now this was just a perfect capture. Spotted off the California coast, in between the red sky and the blue sea, the rarest of colors the sun blesses us with: the "Green Flash".

That was one gorgeous sunset...and honestly to this day rates as the most beautifully three-dimensional contrail I've ever seen. From all the way back in 2009, "Fly Me Over a Crisp Winter's Sky".

It snowed unexpectedly today, but the sun broke through the clouds for a bit of ray tracing lol

Golden lamp sunrise.

Some cloud wave action, winter sunrise.

I'm heading back home to Seil tomorrow; I'll miss this view, but I dare say there'll be a few good sunsets over the Firth of Lorn...
