I have been critical of Vista's glass when it appears bright blue, but when it appears green like this, it's perfect for me.

Side note: I'm thinking of upgrading to a Panasonic Lumix G85 4K digital camera. Good purchase or anyone have other recommendations? Birthday coming up and I wanted to treat myself a little.

Thanks everyone! Aon's views are truly incredible. I Definitely did. Here's the gallery. A lot of vertigo-indicting 'look downs,' too, ha.
