What's with the Prop?
Not a single manipulation - other than whatever the iPhone processing did to insert the cool prop effect. Taken over Gulf Islands en route to Vancouver on Central Mountain Air.
Ed. Note: What causes that aliasing effect, anyway? See here.

"Hey, Bob!" from 36,000
Your photo of the Tempe dust storm [seen here] reminded me I had this on my iPhone.
