of the 35-millimeter?

Uh, yeah, ...

Most of them are, I think, blocked, because we have to be over the water, but, if I'm not mistaken, on the little bit I just caught a look, there might be some land bands.

Oh, yes, as a matter of fact, you got three or four, uh, they're toward the end of that box of 35-millimeter slides. It shows spectacular structures probably, they weren't taken outside, they were over Asia somewhere but they were really nice. Those definitely should be blown up, also the movies.

We did take a lot of movies of the clouds.

We did just, a couple of times, just turn the thing on. We weren't going to take movies around us of things that were still, and wanted - to get a big structure of the......area, so I took some over the Pacific, on the - up over the northern Pacific between Hawaii and the United States, about 3, 4, or 5 minutes.

We took a lot of ocean movies....

Was there ever any question in your mind as to whether or not you were looking at clouds, did you always get.....

Daylight.

Daylight and nighttime.

Daylight, there is never any doubt.

At night time it is kind of hard to see the ground.

One question from the pictures, it did not appear to be too ground, but were you able to be conscious of haze or dust layers, say over your deserts, or even over pollution areas of cities and so forth.

Were you conscious of seeing the industrial pollution or the dust?
