The sky's variety of blue, the darting clouds, the bright sun: the flight from Portland to Chicago yesterday cast a spell.
Here's a minute of video I shot before we began the descent toward Chicago. This only gives a feeling for the dimensions of the clouds and the way light gave the whole sky the feel of a dreamy, complex structure.
Mount Hood, about 50 miles east-southeast of Portland.

And of course on the other, grayer end, the always hair-raising, just-in-the-nick-of-time landing at Midway Airport in Chicago. Buildings. Buildings!
BUILDINGS!! Runway....
Midway, a neighborhood joint.

I took this same flight a month ago despair as the mountains disappear and soon you'll be back in the corn. Love seeing suburban Chicago come into view, the ball fields, swimming pools, clover-leaf traffic patterns(that we know we'll soon be navigating, doggone it).
And a trip without seeing someone on the wing, dismantling it, is always a good thing (man that Twilight Zone episode left a mark!).
Hahaha!
