Unusual weather was featured in today's flight,
complete with low-lying fog at the Delaware Water Gap
at 12:30 in the afternoon as well as an abundant amount
of visible moisture due to a temperature inversion.
This is where instead of temperature decreasing as you
gain altitude, it increases as it did today.

Some of the pictures you will see are rather ghostly
but very beautiful, especially photos 11 and 12.
The flight encompassed northern New Jersey with a
slight skew into eastern Pennsylvania near the
Allentown area, then south to central New Jersey
over the towns of Princeton, New Brunswick and
Bridgewater, to name a few.

As always, I hope you enjoy the view from above
