During my ride on the magic carpet (also known as the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museums’ C-47 Dakota), we flew along the south shore of Lake Ontario and passed over this ship, which may have been the Ganges Star, an oil/chemical tanker.
Last Christmas, Faye astonishingly and generously gifted me a flight on the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museums’ C-47 Dakota. My dad flew C-47s in World War II. The C-47 was a transport plane so my dad flew cargo and paratroop drop missions. He served in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, flew paratroopers for D-Day and flew more missions in Northwest Europe afterwards.
I recently took advantage of Fayes’ gift. Here’s a photo of the magic carpet I rode in; this specific plane did drop paratroops on D-Day. I’ll post more photos over the next few days.
Fog relented just enough this morning to capture this sunrise.
By paying attention as well as not hurrying to my destination, I can – and do – stop to admire and capture a striking sunrise.
The winter wheat harvest is in full swing.
Friday morning was clear, so it was a wonderful opportunity to admire the waning fingernail moon.
This mornings’ sky was ablaze.
Look at this face and convince yourself otherwise.
Thursday’s morning sky was lovely. While getting up at 0445 AM to do what I need to do, then get to work at a reasonable time is at times more than a little unpleasant, viewing such beauty is a reasonable trade-off.
