Jim Collier > Five volcanoes in one shot - from left to right: Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helenes, Mt. Jefferson.  Spanning Washington (near Seattle) to Oregon.  I didn't realize the significance of this shot until almost a year later.  Such a feat (these five volcanoes in one shot), at this low altitude at least, is almost certainly only possible with infrared.  I suspect it might be possible to see all five in visible light from the very top of Mt. Rainier on an exceptionally clear day (which is kind of cheating because it has to be in the picture too), but I have yet to find any such pictures in spite of scouring the internet.  If you know of one, please add a comment with a link!
Jim Collier > Clouds in infrared.
Jim Collier > Yet another somewhere else over the midwest.

Jim Collier > Turtle Lake in Shoreview, MN.  Water is mostly opaque to the near-infrared slice of spectrum that this camera setup captures, and also doesn't reflect much.
Jim Collier > Minneapolis, MN.  Notice the sports stadium visible at top center in this shot.
Jim Collier > Since this gallery has alot of infrared photos (including high-speed), it might be worthwhile to include a link to my blog entry that provides more info on infrared photography:
