Perilous Paths?

            Anyone who has ever flown into San Diego has probably had the experience of wondering whether they were going to land alive.  The flight path into Lindbergh Field has its final approach over the Little Italy section of the city, in between the high rises and the mesa on which Balboa Park resides.

From in the plane it can be unsettling, for folks along the final approach, it often feels as though you could reach out and touch the wingtips or landing gear.  

This image captures the San Diego skyline from the North on Cabrillo Bridge, overlooking CA 163 with its crazy traffic patterns just before it merges with Interstate 5 on the east edge of San Diego city proper.  I timed the exposure to include the flashing running lights of an American Airlines passenger flight on final approach into SAN, showing how the flights are just above the valley treetops at this point.
