So where in the heck did I go today?
Looking up in the Fort Myers airport


Looking up in the Ladies room


Looking out to the puddle jumper I'm about to board


Watching the Pilot climb up


Having arrived


Now, where am I?

4. I'm struggling with
the looking up theme and lo and behold I see your "looking up in the ladies room". I'm still grinning - thanks.

From my great sense of observation I take it you are on vacation! Wishing you a great time and am looking forward to your pictures.

6. I'm surprised you didn't wind up with any photos "looking up" at TSA officers...

...wondering why you were taking pictures in an airport, and which terraist group you belonged to. ;-)

10. Smile

Excellent guess - that is where the anchor is!!!
We have a winner.
But my destination is actually still elsewhere.

9. You are clearly in
some place I've never been. Gorgeous! Is that last one sunrise or sunset?

11. Most certainly the setting sun. I had a damn amazing thing happen...
I got on that small plane, one more passenger other than the pilot, and we rolled out and lifted up and within a minute or so I realized the battery on my camera was dead.
Not one shot was left.

I realized within another few minutes that I was in for the most glorious flight I might have ever been on. Late afternoon light, white clean clustered clouds, low altitude, beautiful vistas, unearthly beauty, and no camera.

Everything I owned was stowed under the plane. Spare camera, spare battery, all I had than the clothes on my back was the dead camera hanging around my neck.

It was decision time. I decided to remember it with my eyes my emotions and my heart only.
And it was, without a doubt, the most spectacular flight I ever experienced.

thanks for listening......

12. Those pictures
taken through the lens of the soul never dim with time.


And nobody else can photoshop them, either. . .

14. Well, I think you do know! The Martello Museum at the airport in Key West.
Now - if only I knew where you are I would REALLY come and say hi next time.
I'll be there again next year if the creeks stay in their beds, so let me know.
