It’s a long, long way from Hamilton to Madang. I stopped over one night in Chicago and two in Cairns. I’ve many adventures to report and photos to show you.

First, I have to spend a couple of days rebuilding my computer at home. It hasn’t had a software refresh for about six years. It’s too slow to be useful. By early next week, I’ll be back to posting daily.

Have a look at this: (click on it for an enlargement)

Orange Ice

Have you noticed the tiny crystals of frost that sometimes appear between the two plastic windows on an airliner at high altitudes: I suppose that there is enough air leaking thorough the tiny hole at the bottom of the inside window to put some moisture in that cavity. The outer pane must be ferociously cold.

Anyway, you can see the tiny frost crystals glowing orange from the setting (or rising, I can’t remember) sun. You can also see the deep blue sky and the wing of the plane in the blurry distance.

I have some interesting shots to show you over the next few days – when I get my computer sorted. Would you like to see what the ground looks like when you’re falling through it straight down at about 200 KPH? I’m going to show you.
