This image has a rather interesting history. First, it was shot through the window of an American Airlines jet as we were approaching the Salt Lake City airport [this was sometime in the Spring of 1978]. The Kodachrome slide was stored in a carousel or Vis-File page over the decades. A few years ago, when I began scanning some of my archive to go digital, I chose this one. Like all my other slide scans, I had had to clean up the accumulated Schmutz in Photoshop Elements; but, this one was in dire need of color correction. Much of the blue still remains, and there are other imperfections that need attention. Some day I will get back to work on it -- but, for now, I still find it a pleasing image -- especially knowing that I had only one or two chances to get the shot.

I am very late in this comment, but I am truly impressed at you abilities... in getting this great shot in 1978 and now in delivering it to us in 2012 in a blog post. I do not know what else you would correct because this looks very fine indeed!
