California

The view from our plane flying over an interesting line up of smaller jets at the Van Nuys airport.

Afternoon light catches the snow and furrows of eroded hillsides near Tejon Pass during our flight heading down to Los Angeles.

A canal snakes along the divide between geometric fields and brown hills along the southwest edge of the Central Valley.

Flying from Spokane to Los Angeles at the end of January, our plane took us over Yosemite Valley with El Capitan’s white cliffs visible just below the iconic Half Dome.

Fresh snow blanketed the slopes of 14,000-foot tall Mt. Shasta as we drove north out of the Central Valley of California. Glad that the snow stayed high up above the freeways we traveled into Oregon.
