It is never too dark for a picture, you just need another camera.

Jungle,
Touche'. I carry a Sony U40- 2MP is great for travel shots- runs on 2xAAAs- perfect over the years- but- SMALL Lens- I grew up on F1.2 Contax lenses, I miss that speed... But don't miss the weight. No way I'm carrying a real camera on the road until UPS lightens my flight bag kit w/ some EFBs!
Last trip I broke in my new AT&T Tilt/8925/Tytn II/HTC- 3MP but also, small lens, and not so great drivers/software- I got better drivers now- we'll see- anyway- I'll trade you access to those tailwinds out of the ANC domicile if you wan't 'em- are you MIA domiciled or SDF?
Cheers,
MP

On my Instrument ride I had 50kt winds aloft at a 45 degree angle from my holding pattern (In a Piper Warrior mind you). I'm sure approach got a kick out of my ground track. I on the other hand was not amused. Luckily the examiner gave me some leeway.
