That high level cloud layer looks magical.  You must have enjoyed your flight immensely.  I certainly enjoyed your pics.

Cheers.  PDX

In fact the cloud layer was a problem: It was raining underneath (no surprise, eh?), and I had to climb over it to get across Sierra Nevada. But from above I could hardly see the scenery (and that´s why we are here, aren´t we?). In addition, descending through a cloud layer near mountains is no great pleasure either (ok, this is only a sim...).

Lovely stuff Gerold, and I always really enjoy a bit of travelogue with the shots - it's good to get some names / info for places to look out for when over the area, so thank you.

Thanks for this comment, Andy. My bit of work seems to be welcomed, so I´ll continue.

Mammoth set of shots Gerold.

Great to see more of your scenic shots from this area.

Wonderful clouds too.

As mentioned these clouds indeed were a problem during flight... and a pity i did not find any Mammoth!

Great views from on high.  That's gotta be the brightest port side position light I've ever seen.

Thank you, OnD. I don´t know why the light effect is so dominant here, but I keep that perspective EZDOCed...
