WY, SD and NE potpourri

The Great Plains are exactly what you’d expect them to be: vast and flat… for thew most part.

Son et lumière show

This is my sixty-seventh participation in the “photo of the month” challenge. Since this is a French-speaking group, I put the translation below. On the 15th of every month, bloggers from all over the world post a photo on a predetermined subject. This month’s topic is “weird machine.”

The SFO Airport Bay

It’s not really a thing, but I made it up ’cause I don’t know how else to describe it.

Niles Canyon… again

I returned to Niles Canyon with my girlfriend and here are the photos…

The Montgolfier Bros. would be disappointed

We woke up at the crack of dawn yesterday. Correction: we woke up at 1:30 am. yesterday to go see the hot air balloons take off in Windsor, CA. They never took off.
