Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

right. Although now when you type in the coordinates, it is the wrong location. The true picture is taken in Salinas, Puerto Rico.

Very nice, and a lot of work for someone.
I guess my favorite connection of palms and planes is seeing palms out of a plane window at landing, when I had boarded that plane in the snow. :lol:

It'd be great to know the story behind that, Mike.

Doesn't look like private land amid the transportation corridor.

Very very cool...
