Pics from Reno flights

I love airplanes and clouds, so here are a few pics from the flights from Denver to Reno and back.

Preparing to leaving Denver Concourse B in an Airbus A-318.

Clouds!

Pyramid Lake in Nevada, seen while approaching Reno. This lake is about the size of Lake Tahoe. The outflow from Lake Tahoe forms the Truckee River, which flows into Pyramid Lake. There is no outflow from Pyramid Lake -- the only way water leaves, is just through evaporation.

Stead Airport, seen on approach to Reno, is where the Reno Air Races are held.

Landing at Reno.

Climbing out from Reno. Mt Rose off to the right.


I love these fuzzy white clouds - like cotton candy!

Passing a nice fluffy cumulonimbus cloud, as we approached Denver.

Flying into Denver, over the Continental Divide. I think we were right over Trail Ridge Road, when I snapped this one.

Passing East of Denver - with Downtown Denver, and City Park (our favorite Sunday walk!) off in the distance.
