June 19th - Tribute to Ushuaia

It’s the southernmost city of the world. The sunrise, as I viewed it from the plane, radiated a tinge of orange over the city which has water in front of it, Glacier Peak Mountains behind it. The mountains are only half white, the bottom is dark gray. But as the plane takes off, you see that behind these half gray half white mountains, is an infinity of just white, white, white, white….and the orange of the sun shines on this white. One of the most beautiful things I’ve seen.

I am not going to Ushuaia, I was fortunate that the plane landed there before returning to my destination (Rio Gallegos). The airport is on the edge of the water, so, as the plane lands, it seems like you're landing on water and heading straight into the mountains.
