What a weekend (June 9th and 10th),
with both days dedicated to flying.
Saturday morning was spent 5,000 feet over the
Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania with the intent of
shooting a complete array of photos featuring the remains
of the Bethlehem Steel Works and the relatively new
Sands Casino and Hotel built adjacent to the
Steel Works plant, among other areas of interest
that looked appealing.
As always, I hope you enjoy "The View from Above"
