Severe Clear

Beautiful clear morning skies today. Here's a satellite photo showing just how clear it was. Starting with Sangay in the south, there are six snow-capped volcanos in the photo, ending with Cayambe in the north, on the equator. Quite an awesome photo. Normally the satellite is pointed farther to the south, but because of activity by the volcano Galeras in Colombia, they've got it pointed farther to the north. That's not so good for the pilots here, as they can't see as much of the Oriente in the photo as they could in the past. It might be a few days or weeks, but eventually the NOAA will put it back where it was.
