Our friend Anson Mount turns the camera on himself for this photo. If you're a regular visitor to our blog, you recognize Anson's name from the many postings of his photos over the years.
We wanted you to have a chance to actually see him. Anson's a pilot, and here we see him at work in the pilot's seat. Check out Anson's shot of a temperature inversion on a flight from Waukegan to Watertown, Wis., taken Thursday. He tells us the inversion topped out around 2,500 feet -- an observation which matches vertical temperature "soundings" which were taken over the area yesterday. Happy Halloween Anson!
