I had a window seat on my flight back to Orange County on Saturday, and during our final approach I snapped this lovely picture of our old blimp hangars. I got lucky with the dramatic sky and the sun peeping through at just the right place, and then, for some reason, I decided I wanted to make the picture look like a 40s-era Kodachrome slide from when the hangars were built. I didn’t quite get there, but I think I got close.

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
