I was sitting in the back left seat of a UH60 Blackhawk helicopter. The Army National Guard at the Fresno airport was giving us controllers rides around the local area. Got a few great shots of the control tower, too.

This is a good photo of the lake but I don't find it particularly interesting (sorry, but I'm trying to make myself comment more...)
