New Year Sun by the Hubby

Post by Montana »

The hubby took some images with the PST at lunchtime (while I made the roast dinner). He even manged a transit and with the help of plane tracker app we identified the plane.

Cool transit, Darren. Interesting that you were able to identify the specific flight. Nice App.

Keep up with the training, Alexandra :)
