Pictures from January 31, 2003


All pictures were taken at 1600x1200, and then reduced to ~100k. Taken with a Canon Powershot A20 from a Piper Cherokee at 1500ft to 3000ft. Unfortunately, there was still some fog around, so some shots are hazy.

Route of flight was from Palo Alto Airport (PAO), over Stanford University and out to the coast, then down past Santa Cruz, over Watsonville (WVI) and South Coundy (Q99), and then up the valley back to Palo Alto.
