My wife and I are visiting family down in (much too) sunny Arizona. In the past we’ve made the two day drive down South from up here in the frigid North in Montana but this time we opted to travel via the skies. Leaving from the little Glacier International Airport was a pretty minor affair, which is usually the case for such a small airport but when we got to Seattle for the connecting flight to Phoenix (the downside of flying out of BFN Montana) they found that the plane that was going to be our connecting flight had some damage to the door and was basically inoperable. We had to shuffle gates and wait for a replacement plane and then sit through some more delays which added another three hours to an already long day.

On the plus side I did have a window seat on the plane to Phoenix and taking off at 5:30 meant I got to watch the sun slowly set and light dance across some beautiful remote landscapes of the American West from the interesting perspective of 36,000ft. I did also pack the little half frame H35N and I snapped a few frames on that camera but mostly I spent my time messing around shooting the iPhone. It’s been a while since I’ve used it more seriously as a camera but for a while after first moving to Montana and setting aside photography it was the only photographic “tool” that I used. And, I think the results here speak to how capable it is. It’s kind of wild to think that we all just walk around with these quite capable little point and shoots right in our pockets.

It’s currently 11:23 in Arizona as I’m putting this together, 12:23 in Montana time. It’s been a long day and I should probably get some sleep. Thanks for stopping by and looking at some pictures.
