Trip to Sacramento

I went to the CalNex data meeting in Sacramento to give a talk (similar to my AGU talk) about methane emissions in L.A. and from rice fields.

I took off during a cloudy day in Colorado, which made for a nice sea of clouds lapping up against Longs Peak.


We reached California's Central Valley around sunset.


I was excited to see flooded rice fields!


Our hotel was near the former governor's mansion. The last governor to live there was Ronald Reagan.


Here's Cesar Chavez Park and the California EPA building, where the meeting was held.


The Capitol was surprisingly dull.


On my way home, one of the static discharge wicks on the wing of the plane kept vibrating, so I took a picture of it.
