Apparently it's carrying polar air cargo. http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/0000dker.xml 17c8d226320f1a23453dfe49cc78b646 image/jpeg 640 480 34277 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/0000dker The thing to the left of this plane is a helicopter. Not that you have any reason to care. I'm just saying. http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/0000ewpg.xml c9e75b9a085da3cb5e8afedfee7e73c3 image/jpeg 640 480 36231 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/0000ewpg A local air force base. http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/0000fe8z.xml cf16e259575bfbb827b8140855254f7b image/jpeg 640 480 79931 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/0000fe8z Really I was on the other side of a chain link fence from these planes, and not nearly this close, but it did provide a good opportunity to experiment with my camera's zoom lens. http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/0000ghar.xml f78538f8a754197c02d61946fb38b699 image/jpeg 640 480 40642 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/0000ghar This is an airplane, obviously. But unlike the other airplanes in my air force base gallery, this one does not actually fly anymore. It is permanently parked in front of the University of California at Davis Medical Center extension building on the air force base. http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000qq473.xml 38b1ebceba5ac47d7aebe612474c8952 image/jpeg 640 480 58472 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000qq473 This is a memorial to Charles Lindbergh. To the best of my knowledge, Charles Lindbergh had no particular connection to this area, other than his having an obvious connection to flying and the air force base also having an obvious connection to flying. So do they put memorials to Charles Lindbergh on *every* U.S. air force base? That would be peculiar, not least because Charles Lindbergh vocally opposed the U.S. military's entrance into World War II. But here's the sculpture anyway! http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000q83d8.xml 8aee281e8906249822310dee06a3e823 image/jpeg 640 480 22417 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000q83d8 Here we have a sculpture of two aviators. http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000f6bzq.xml 970401cd9472285adbcbb10df09f1f45 image/jpeg 640 480 42111 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000f6bzq The flags of Sacramento County, California, and the United States. The Sacramento County flag has lots of flowers on it. Do you know what <i>your</i> county's flag looks like? http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000ff8y2.xml a95d924baaf972af95428f99d9e331ba image/jpeg 640 480 26398 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000ff8y2 The air force base also features a lake. It is such a pretty lake that even the metal tubes installed next to it manage to be pretty. http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000fgy4d.xml a3594843d6311008e36e301cb727a593 image/jpeg 640 480 55725 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000fgy4d The air force base also features a lake.

There seems to be a nighttime rainbow in this picture, too! I didn't discover the nighttime rainbow until after I got home and downloaded the picture from my camera. http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000fe309.xml e3f4ecd639999bb6f008724c8f22dd91 image/jpeg 640 480 36188 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000fe309 This is a walkway on the air force base, at night. http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000fqrc7.xml 98d8b4fb070628e0425f8c458489fdf1 image/jpeg 640 480 28251 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000fqrc7 This is an amusingly tiny little Baptist church embedded in a strip mall on the former air force base. I find it sad that although my neighborhood contains both strip-mall strip clubs (http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000fy2af/ ) and strip-mall Baptist churches, the strip-mall strip club is unfortunately not in the same strip mall as the strip-mall Baptist church. From left to right, the stores in this picture are: Metropolitan Check Cashing & Services, Metropolitan Driving School, Headquarters Hair Design, and New Hearts Baptist Church. The next store to the right (not visible here) is a Subway Restaurant, which has a separate building. http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000qb9t4.xml f19ebe7ad909ad543a43379de1814ca1 image/jpeg 640 480 47479 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000qb9t4 This is a building that is under construction on the air force base. http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000qxqxd.xml 88800a6f0a80237db8b6e4c2f6a3309c image/jpeg 640 480 42998 http://pics.livejournal.com/queerbychoice/pic/000qxqxd
