Pine Mountain, Wyoming

Here's another photo I took with the iPhone 11 Pro Max on my flight back from Calgary the other week. The landscape feature at the bottom of the image is Pine Mountain which lies just to the west of Casper, Wyoming.

The first part of the flight had crisp, clear blue skies allowing for great visibility. I spent virtually the entire flight just gazing out the window watching the magnificent landscape pass below.

The angle of the sun that afternoon helped pick out the features of the land below. I was struck by this feature that looked like a big hole in the ground but is actually a mountain rising up from the plain.

The wilderness around it is frosted in snow as far as the eye can see.

While examining the photo at full size I noticed two short black lines in the top left corner of the bottom right quadrant of the photo. A little to the right of those were some white dots. Those are the features that allowed me to place this image. The black lines are the runways at Casper/Natrona County International Aiport and the white dots are oil storage tanks near the intersection of Zero Road and US Hwy 26 in Casper.
