Flying into Vancouver, it was blindingly sunny in the plane.

Below, Metro Vancouver is covered in a thick fog layer, with some higher places and bridges peeking through.

An airplane wing above a fog-covered landscape with a city in the foreground. The sky is clear and blue with the sun shining brightly. There are interesting cloud puffs and structures poking through.

Enhance! 5x on iPhone zoomed in and then slightly cropped. A sea of fog, some interesting cloud puffs above the fog layer (maybe industrial smoke stacks?) and the Port Mann bridge.

View out airplane window with the wing in frame. Fog to the horizon. There is green hill and a cluster of buildings (is this SFU campus?) above the fog.

Leaning out my bedroom window again to bring you this technicolour sky.

A view of the sky at sundown over rooftops & a tall tree in black silhouette. The sky is a fiery hot orange with pink streaks as the sun catches the clouds with light. The sky seems an impossibly technicolour blue.

A color photo of a fence after having been painted by an artist in Los Angeles, California, who is well known for his nature themed murals. The fence depicts a person painting over the wood to make it appear there's no barrier. It's a continuation of plantlife, uninterrupted.

Cuánto me alegra leer esto 😊

Esta mañana, de la que iba a comprar, me detenía a mirar los árboles, y la luz entre las hojas (“komorebi” para los japoneses).

Mañana, otro poco mejor.
