Night Flight

Last Tuesday night my pilot friend and I flew out from Oakland to Half Moon Bay. We headed South from the airport and West, flying above the San Mateo bridge and over the hills into the coast. The shot above was taken going over San Mateo. Remember the scene in The Abyss where Ed Harris' character tumbles down into the alien world and he sees all the bright lights below him? That's what it looked like for most of the trip. It was pretty cool to go up again, though flying over the hills into Half Moon Bay was a bit choppy... I thought I'd lose it if I weren't so concentrated on taking pictures!
