As I write this, the captain has just informed us that we are cruising at thirty-two thousand feet somewhere over Nebraska. From my view out the window, the landscape below is a sea of green sectioned into neatly organized squares and rectangles. It’s a beautiful bit of geographic geometry.
I am flying home after an amazing week with the family at Yosemite. For those of you who haven’t been, I strongly recommend putting it on your bucket list. I had seen plenty of Yosemite images in books and documentaries but the majesty of it up close is something to behold.
