Glimpses: “a bowl full of sky”

The sky just looks different in Eastern Washington, doesn’t it? As we venture across the mountains to find the location of today’s photo, we also pay homage to those spending this long weekend around these parts rocking, rolling, and then hopefully rocking some more. Thanks to lwestcoat for traveling east to get this placid yet grandiose shot of our state’s other half.

Glimpses: “towers and contrails”

This Flickr pool shot by ChrisBlakeley up into the sky near one of Queen Anne’s tallest TV towers reminds us that the continuing wonders of the world wide web mean never having to look up and not know if it’s a bird or a plane ever again. No really: WolframAlpha knows everything, including the altitude and ground speed of that plane above you. And that other one over there, too. This is jet city, after all. Just search “planes overhead” or something of the like. So with the forecast calling for mostly dry, why not look up this weekend?
