Rainy night at LGA

Earlier this month, I flew home from Virginia
through some very stormy skies (the
flight attendant told me we'd come this close to
being diverted to Philadelphia).
Needless to say, I was very glad to be back
home in NYC—and safe on the ground!

Skywatch Friday

As usual, I'm hopping a plane and heading
a bit south to ring in the new year in a
peaceful place very far from Times Square.
Hope you'll be wherever you
want to be too!

Good Morning

When I fly within the U.S., I like to be 
on the first flight in the morning.  That way, 
obviously, I'm not waiting for the plane 
to get there (late) from someplace 
else—and as a bonus I'm often treated to 
a beautiful sunrise like this one.

Weekend Reflections

Was sitting on a plane early on
New Year's Eve, waiting for takeoff,
when I snapped this shot.  That's Bowery
Bay, the red building is (I believe) part
of a water-treatment plant, and you probably
don't ever want to find yourself on that
bridge—it goes to Rikers Island (the prison).

Skywatch Friday

I was sitting on the plane, waiting—and

waiting—to take off from LaGuardia

airport. Fortunately, as long as I have

Skywatch pics like this one to shoot,

I never get bored.
