Uhhhh… who’s flying the plane?
lol - I used to get that question when showing photos taken while flying, like I was flying it down I-15.
Nice shot - San Gabriels?

I got to visit Cambridge, England last week. The idea of a university being a thousand years old is just mind-boggling to me.
Some of my favorite snapshots.
Top to bottom: Queens’ College, St. John’s College, Peterhouse.

Cambridge was one of the most interesting and memorable visits I ever made… anywhere. And I have virtually the same photo of the bridge at Queens’ College, both in my collection of slides, and in my mind.

Slides ? Very cool, for some strange reason I used to look forward to my Pops setting up an evening of slide viewing from our most recent vacations. Popcorn, hot chocolate and pajamas!

That’s the Mathematical Bridge… I found the history and the myths surrounding it as interesting as the bridge itself.

Yes, I was aware of the history of the bridge before I went to Quees’ College, in fact it was a major part of the impetus for the trip. I have degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science, (and love engineering and architecture). One of my professors, who became a significant mentor to me had attended University of Cambridge, and talked about the bridge and it’s design in a lecture.
For anybody interested in more details, here’s a pretty good piece on the topic.

Here’s a photo above Bountiful last Thursday, the Summer Solstice.
Farmington bay is fuller than it has been, Antelope Island is a familiar sight from this perspective, and if you zoom in just to the left of Frary Peak (high point of Antelope Island) you can see Pilot Peak, Nevada.
