C'mon up to the North Georgia mountains Daniel, at least to the Metro Atlanta area We have had snow several times this Winter already & they are calling for possibly more again on Monday....I didn't move down South to see this snow, I had enough when I lived in Maryland & Wisconsin before that...

That mountain photo is cool, was that taken in a commercial airline or something smaller?
Airliner - anything smaller and I would have been a lot closer to the mountains.

When i worked for Flathead National Forest in northwest Montana, they flew me and a couple others into a remote area to fight a forest fire and the plane was a tiny single engine 4 seater (including pilot). It was an amazing ride and as you said, It was very low to the ground. The mountains were all around 7k to 9k feet and we were flying around 10k. It was SLOW too. I was astonished when i heard we were only flying at about 25-30mph. I would love to get my pilots license and buy a small plane.
I had a friend whose coworker had his pilots license. Back in July 1976 we flew over the Inner Harbor in Baltimore to photograph the "Tall Ships" that were touring the East Coast in honor of the 200th anniversary of the country...It was a small 4 seater Cessna (I think) that had the wing over top the cabin. We took off from Glen L Martin field in East Baltimore, flew over the Inner Harbor, then went north & flew over the pilots neighbor's house. Actually, he buzzed the house & also did a loop the loop. His father was a judge & lived in ritzy section of the county. Anyway, we stopped at a small air park in Essex to gas up & my best friend (one of 4 people on the plane, 3 of which were taking photos) refused to get back on the plane (he almost lost his breakfast on the loop the loop). Had to fly back to Martin Field & then drive back to Essex to pick him up...Still have those negatives somewhere. I should dig them out if I can find them...Small planes are neat !!

That sounds like a good time. If you can find them that would be nice to see.
I wish i had a camera w/me. When fighting any kind of forest fire, you're pretty limited to the gear you can bring along. Just the basic necessities. I cant count how many awe inspiring photo ops i had to pass up.... action fire fighting photos and unbelievable weather and lighting in the mountains... atleast i have the memories.
My best friend owns a Cessna 182-probably what you both flew in and I have done some flights with him to take aerial pix of another pilot and his plane.

LOL make up your mind dude.
Personally I don't have a favourite season. Winter for the colours I suppose, Christmas lights that is.
Do you get seasons over there?

It's good for shooting black and white with minimalism.
