ATC Zero

21 years ago at 9:03 am a Deputy Manager at the FAA’s regional air traffic control center on Long Island issues a command to clear the skies over New York City and its’ surrounding region. Not a single flight will be allowed in or out of New York. At 9:25 am an FAA National Operations manager on his first day at the job issues a nationwide ground stop, halting all aircraft on the ground from taking off. At 9:38 am that same manager makes the decision to land or divert every single aircraft either over the United States or headed this way.

Monsoon Season 2022

It’s monsoon season here in Phoenix, and we’ve had multiple days of strong winds, rains, flooding, and thunderstorms. I got off work a little after 3 am on Thursday morning and was treated to quite the light show on my drive home so I ran around until about 8 both at home and south mountain taking in the storm.

Phon D Sunset

I made a last-minute decision to head out toward the Phon D Sutton Recreation area and ended up paying the price by having to nearly run up a nearby hill to get set up for the last colors of sunset. Situated along the banks of the Lower Salt River the area is an oasis for canoes, tubing and fishing.

About 15hrs short of the February full moon (known by the Native Americans as the snow moon since this is a time of the year when snow is most prevalent) the moon rises over the peaks and radio towers of South Mountain.

Hollywood Nights

Sitting on approximately 3000 acres of donated land overlooking downtown Los Angeles, the Griffith Park Observatory first opened in 1935 and sees 1.6 million visitors every year. The observatory contains numerous exhibits and more than 7 million people have viewed the universe through it’s 12 inch Zeiss refractor telescope, more than any other telescope in the world. Given its Hollywood Hills setting it’s no surprise that the observatory has featured prominently in numerous tv and movie productions including multiple Terminator movies, San Andreas and La La Land.

Capitol View

Mt. Lemmon Vista

Mt. Lemmon is the highest point in the Santa Catalina mountains with an elevation of 9,159 feet and sits just east of the city of Tucson. The mountain is home to numerous hiking trails, an observatory and a ski resort. The mountain is a popular destination for the residents of Tucson and Phoenix, particularly during the summer months as the temperature at the summit is generally 20 degrees cooler than it is at the base.

The Westward Ho

The past few days we’ve had some clouds and light rain roll through the valley which, if it doesn’t completely blanket the city, can provide some truly spectacular sunsets. This has been the case the past few days so I ventured out into my neighborhood to see what the weather might provide.

This is The Westward Ho. It was built as a hotel in 1928 and was the tallest building in Arizona for 30 years. The hotel served as the site for numerous large scale events and weddings. The hotel can also be seen in movies such as the 1998 remake of Psycho, the 1972 movie Pocket Money with Paul Newman and the 1965 movie Bus Stop starring Marilyn Monroe. The antenna on top of the building was used to broadcast the first television station in Phoenix and is now used as a cell tower.

Monsoon Season

Beginning in June and ending in September the Arizona monsoon season provides a much-needed respite from the hot dry days common to our summer weather. Along with the humidity comes an increased prevalence of rain and thunderstorms. This storm came up fast enough that I had to decide between making sure I was able to capture the storm before it blew through and moving to a more picturesque location. In the end, I decided that downtown Phoenix would have to suffice and the storm itself did not disappoint.
