Every December I fly to Wisconsin to celebrate Christmas with my brother and his family. Every year I try to get a window seat -- I love to view the landscape from above. This year the flight times, the light, just didn't work. But last year was wonderful.
I'm particularly fascinated viewing the midwest from above. The Northwest Territory was divided in 160-acre plots, and that geometry still rules the countryside.

The Hudson Highlands look quite different. The highlands are the remains of a very very very old mountain chain and over time have been worn down to, comparatively, a nub.
