Ride along with renowned aviator, writer, and photographer Greg Brown in his light airplane, the Flying Carpet, as he searches behind clouds for the real America, experiencing countless aerial adventures along the way.
Grab your logbook, and join our flying adventure attending a unique “working cowboys” rodeo, and then fleeing thunderstorms on the flight home!
You may remember meeting my cowboy buddy “Baldy” way back in Flying Carpet Podcast Flight #2, “Cowboy Pilot,” in which Jean and I were first invited to the annual “Arizona Cowpuncher’s Reunion.” If you don’t remember that episode, or haven’t heard it, you might want to get to know Baldy via that episode before starting this one.
Regardless, I predict you’ll get a kick out of attending this unique “working cowboys” rodeo, and experiencing our piloting travails flying there and back.
Okay, everyone, hop aboard my Flying Carpet, snug up your seatbelts, and prepare for takeoff on today’s adventure, “Cowpunchers Reunion: Rough Flight Home.”

Hey Friends, check out “Geiko & Escort,” one of my personal-favorite Down to Earth Fine Art Metal Prints, photographed in Kyoto’s renowned Gion District, Japan.
Note this lady’s amazing details of makeup, dress and hair! I didn’t learn until afterward how fortunate I was to capture this photo.
Geikos/Geishas are paid entertainers so they rarely allow random portraits shot on the street. As a result, most casual shots capture them awkwardly from side or rear.
In this case I saw the couple coming, raised my camera to my waist and asked if I might take a photo. The Geiko smiled and nodded yes. Hence a treasured shot that hangs proudly on my own kitchen wall…
Incidentally, I learned from our guide at the time that white makeup and stylized eye- and mouth treatments originated to highlight geishas’ facial expressions when performing back in the age of candlelight.
Like all my Fine Art Metal Prints, “Geiko & Escort,” ready-to-hang pricing starts at just $135, with super-affordable shipping throughout the Continental US right up to the largest sizes.

There are many dimensions to piloting adventure: some are scary, most are educational, but all are memorable!
Ever heard of St. Elmo’s fire? This episode certainly fits the “scary” category!

My wife and I recently enjoyed a surprise vacation in Guadeloupe, French Antilles (aka the French West Indies.) Few Americans know this island paradise because it’s a department of France and therefore primarily popular with EU visitors.
However, many Americans will know “Death in Paradise,” the popular British detective series. Set on the fictitious Caribbean island of “Saint Marie,” it’s actually filmed in and around the town of Deshaies, Guadeloupe.
Over our vacation I sought out and photographed numerous “Death in Paradise” filming locations, and thought you might enjoy seeing them.
Scroll down to see my 2024 “Death in Paradise” Calendar and Photo Gallery. Interested in prints of any calendar or gallery photos? If so, please comment below or message me via “Contact Greg.”
Enjoy this vicarious visit to “Honoré, Saint Marie!”

PS: Look forward to my Guadeloupe scenic photographs in a future post!

My wife and I recently enjoyed two weeks in Guadeloupe, French Antilles. Yes, there were incredible beaches, snorkeling, food, and sightseeing. (Comment if you’d like me to post some pics.)
One day we stopped by Destreland Mall near Pointe-à-Pitre, a shopping mall like anywhere else, to buy groceries.
Suddenly this fab dance troop materialized from nowhere, and it was such a scream I’m compelled to share the experience.
And as if their performance wasn’t already great enough, wait’ll you see the little boy from the audience jive with the dancers!
