Above the humidity

above the clouds somewhere between South Korea and Japan

June, July, and August in South Korea and Japan feature intense humidity. The skies are usually white, not with fluffy, moving, picturesque clouds like you see in Copenhagen this time of year but with hazy clouds that seldom seem to move or dissipate. Such were the conditions when my plane departed from Gwangju. Soon, I realized, the clouds were far more interesting on the other side where they were quite lovely, especially next to the blues that I had so rarely seen in the prior months.

A while back I posted a photo of Mt. Shasta from the air on my way back to Ashland from Oakland, California in a private plane. Today’s photo is of the view out my right-side, passenger window on the way down to Oakland.

Bergen, Norway

Bergen from Fløyen

On one of the rare days in which it isn’t raining in Bergen, the place is absolutely beautiful. With average rainfall approaching 100 inches per year (for reference for those of you, like me, who live in the Pacific Northwest, that’s more than Portland and Seattle combined!), a view like this isn’t frequently possible. I hope to visit Bergen again someday.

O.Co Coliseum and Oracle Arena

Today Game 2 of the ALDS will happen at the O.co Coliseum between the Oakland A’s and Detroit Tigers. I wish I was flying in again like I was back in May when I took today’s photo.
