Bird's eye view of Bay Area





















Early this month I was given a rare opportunity to fly in a Cessna. The flight was captured on mini DV. Here are some of still images from the video.






I am sorry for my long absence. But I has not been able to capture images worthy of this forum. I do regularly check in and admire all your photographs and wonder how you did it.

Beautiful waterscapes! The placement of that lighthouse(?) on the spine of the rocks seems like a great impossibility! Some nice shadows to admire from up where you are, and of course the fields of yellow and green :)

It's fun to see a completely different view of places that are so familiar. I especially like the view of Pt. Bonita Lighthouse. Thanks for sharing these, Simon!

Lea and Warren's comments hit the nail on the head. It was a windless morning and the sun was still low over the horizon. The water adds like a mirror for the shadows and reflections. I never realized how pecarious the position of Pt. Bonita Lighthouse is until that flight. And the unbelievably beautiful field of yellow flowers was on the east bank of Tomales Bay.
