Now That's Something
Okay, I flew back to Newfoundland on Thursday (yesterday actually). It was a pond jumper flight - Atlanta to Toronto, then Toronto to Halifax, and finally Halifax to St. John's. I got up at 2:45am and didn't arrive until 8:00pm.
Anyway, on my 6:00am flight from Atlanta to Toronto I saw what I think is one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen. While I slept for most of the flight, about half way through I opened up my window shade and looked out the window, only to see the sun start to rise over the tops of the clouds we were flying over.
Now I'll be honest, when I packed Wednesday night I decided not to pack my still or digital camera - as I didn't think I'd be needed them. Lisa will bring those up when she comes up in two weeks time. I found this picture at the Letters of Marque, but the shot would have kind of looked like this.
With the exception that it would have been on top of a layer of clouds that looked like this (and this one I found at the 4th Grade Cloud Gallery 2005 from Mrs. Brezna's class at St. James Catholic School in Falls Church, Virginia).
It made quite the impression on me and I regretted not having a camera then, even more than I did when Lisa and I forgot to bring them to San Francisco (see San Francisco).
Anyway, I am back in Newfoundland now as I get ready to spend a month in an small all grade school doing observations for my dissertation data collection. So between actual data collection updates at Breaking into the Academy, along with pictures and other random thoughts that I have about being home (and being able to watch hockey regularly) again that I post here, stayed tuned for more...
