Wow! What a spectacular view of Mt Fuji I had last week during “golden hour” while crossing over Japan from Seoul back to California. I have climbed Mt Fuji with my kids from the base to approximately where the snow line is (approx 8500 ft in June) and hope to have time in my vacation schedule one day to make it to the summit:
Who knew weather charts could be so romantic?! There was a heart-shaped area of ozone and we were routed right through it. This was the route from San Francisco to Seoul:
Another airborne “golden hour” shot…loved the look of these clouds, somewhere over Japan. It’s another thing I love about my job, the ever-changing clouds never get boring:
I took this pic while flying over Siberia a few days ago. (see the weather chart above…this was just west of the heart-shaped ozone area) First of all, it’s rarely clear flying over this part of the world, so seeing the frozen landscape all the way to the slightly curved horizon (from 38,000 ft) was special and just stunning. Brings a whole new meaning to the term vast. (and also c-c-cold):
As some of you may already know, I get the worst, comically bad, fortune cookie fortunes. This one just cut to the core, lol! 
You are so very blessed and we truly appreciate you sharing all of your talents with us …
