I just got home from a short, yet somehow long, weekend in Dallas Texas. I was sent to cover the Michigan football team play Alabama in the Cowboy Classic at the legendary Cowboy Stadium. This post, however, is not about football! (But if you are curious you can click here.)

Somehow I managed to score a direct flight on the way to DFW. 2-and-a-half-hours and I was there in no time flat! I wasn't so lucky on the return trip, with a 5 a.m. wake-up call and a layover in St. Lake City. I've never flown out of St. Lake, so I had no idea how amazing the airport was or the surrounding area. So there I found myself, tucked into a window seat, and no polite way to get to my cameras in the overhead compartment. Thank goodness for my handy iPhone! Check out a few photos from my birds eye view over some pretty amazing landscapes.

These photos have such a painterly feeling.
