I was running through some images of a Dornier 328Jet that I had shot at Boeing Field. I was zoomed in close to check for image sharpness when my eye caught the inside of the nozzle of the engine nacelle. There was an interesting pattern on the inside. Judging by the layout of the staining, I think the mixer in the exhaust results in varying deposition of material on the walls. This is the sort of thing that really appeals to me and probably no one else but it is my blog!
More window shots today! I usually end up sitting on the same side of the plane depending on which way I am heading in order to be on the shady side. However, I was on the opposite side on one flight back to Oakland recently and ended up with a good view of Yosemite National Park as we came home. The light was a bit harsh and I was a long way up so nothing outstanding here but it was still a cool view with Half Dome being the easiest landmark to pick out from this angle.
I got a few other shots of the Mammoth Lakes area and the area near Mono Lake (although the lake itself was almost underneath us so hard to get a shot of). Here is a selection.
