Sunset at 30,000 Feet

Air travel today can be a nightmare and is often one miserable experience after another. Standing in long lines toting cumbersome baggage to prevent its loss while you hold a clear plastic zip lock bag displaying your collection of toiletries for all the world to see, frequent flight delays followed by unexplained flight cancellations, bankrupt airlines providing bankrupt customer service, flying overbooked smaller aircraft that seem to have more middle seats than aisle and windows combined. On an evening flight returning to Philadelphia, cramped in one of those bountiful center seats toward the rear of the plane, I noticed a beautiful and brilliant setting sun. I leaned in front of the rather large gentleman sitting to my left and snapped this photo.
