So I recently came back from traveling. For the first time in some years I flew, and while the security theater certainly seemed to be better and more smoothly run than i remember from times past, the seating has only gotten worse. On the modern 737 I took on a few legs, they’d even gone to the bother of cutting the drink & food tray in half because there was simply no chance in hell of opening up the full size tray. Feh.
Anyway, as might be expected I took a number of photos throughout the exercise. Since they were taken with my cel phone, as might be expected they’re not the greatest. But they might be of interest.
The photos below are from shortly after liftoff from Salt Lake International. The flight path took us over the Great Salt Lake… which seems to have become little more than a meandering stream through the desert. Behold:
In the photos below, the slightly redder area to the left is Antelope Island. The lighter tan region *should* be a lake.
