1 Getting Skyhawk N2438S ready for departure to Cape Cod |
2 Taking off from Brookhaven airport always brings us close to Brookhaven National Laboratory, our workplace |
3 A good view on the National Synchrotron Light Source II |
4 INOP means inoperational, one slot was actually empty. The plane was safe to fly, just the communications were stripped to minimum. |
5 Mattituck on the North Shore of Long Island |
6 Shelter Island |
7 Orient Point, the tip of the North Shore, the ferry to New London moored on the dock. |
8 Plum Island with the bio lab of the government. A lot of conspiracy babble around it. |
9 The shores of Newport, where the rich and famous have their summer houses. |
10 Martha's Vineyard in the back. It was a beautiful day to fly. |
11 The Cape Cod Canal, a shortcut instead of having to sail around the cape. Practically, Cape Cod is now an island. |
12 Some clouds, but only a few. |
13 Crystal clear water, just one boat cruising around. The green stuff are algae, too much fertilizer washed into the sea? |
14 Chatham, the south-east corner of Cape Cod. |
15 The northern tip of Cape Cod with Provincetown is in sight. |
16 Getting closer, the strip of the airport in the back. |
17 Provincetown with the piers and the Pilgrim Monument, a 252-ft tower. |
18 A view of the town from the pier. |
19 Landed on the tiny airport. |
20 The pilot is smiling, really. |
21 Fishing boats moored to the pier. |
22 Wating for a fish to fall off the fishing boats. |
23 Yes, we were wearing masks. |
24 After lunch, desert. A man passing by asked "is that a meal or a desert". Yes, the size was enormous. |
25 The restaurant's name is "the blue monkey". Very good food. |
26 Electricity in the "leading nation of the western world". Hmm. |
27 Read carefully, b\well and ..... |
28 Taking this photo was a must. |
29 Tuesday is election day and a bit more than 100 years ago, women weren't allowed to vote. |
30 A monk with a key depicts a ??? |
31 Don't know how a man (and women, too) can walk in these shoes. He did it well. |
32 A cat and a cowboy with a whip. |
33 Yeah, it's Halloween in Provincetown. |
34 Again, this town is a bit special. |
35 Looks like the green stuff is washed into the sea from the rivers. Agriculture? Fertilizers? For sure, it does not look normal. |
36 Flying at 6500 feet was high enough to create some ice on hte black surface. |
37 Flying into the sun on our way home. |
